One Teacher in Ten in the New Millennium

fullDescription

Twenty completely new stories of negotiating the triumphs and challenges of being an LGBT educator in the twenty-first century
 
For more than twenty years, the One Teacher in Ten series has served as an invaluable source of strength and inspiration for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender educators. This all-new edition brings together stories from across America—and around the world—resulting in a rich tapestry of varied experiences. From a teacher who feels he must remain closeted in the comparative safety of New York City public schools to teachers who are out in places as far afield as South Africa and China, the teachers and school administrators in One Teacher in Ten in the New Millennium prove that LGBT educators are as diverse and complex as humanity itself. Voices largely absent from the first two editions—including transgender people, people of color, teachers working in rural districts, and educators from outside the United States—feature prominently in this new collection, providing a fuller and deeper understanding of the triumphs and challenges of being an LGBT teacher today.

reviews

1. • premium: False
   • source: Randi Weingarten, President, American Federation of Teachers
   • content: "Growing up gay isn't easy for anyone, but Kevin's stories show the power of unwavering hope and resilience in the LGBTQ community members working inside our schools. As a gay woman and union leader, I know that I wouldn't be where I am today if it weren't for my union--an ally in the struggle for rights and a shield from unfair discrimination in the workplace. Kevin's acknowledgement that unions embolden openness and openness boosts acceptance demonstrates his deep understanding of the educator community, their personal challenges and how things can get better when they embrace their identities."

   • source: Michelangelo Signorile, author of It's Not Over: Getting Beyond Tolerance, Defeating Homophobia, and Winning True Equality
   • content: "One Teacher in Ten in the New Millennium is both informative and deeply inspiring, adding many important voices to previous groundbreaking volumes. These diverse and powerful stories run the gamut of LGBTQ experiences today, giving us a broad outlook on our triumphs as well as the challenges we face in the twenty-first century."

     This book is the third in a series showcasing the stories and struggles of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) educators. Culturally speaking, much has changed since editor Jennings (founder, Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network; executive director, Arcus Fdn.) published the first edition in 1994. But, as more than one of the contributors to the current volume note, the LGBT educator remains a subject of discrimination on the job. (As of 2014 it was legal in 29 states to hire and fire someone based on their sexual orientation.) Here readers will find a range of viewpoints from teachers--both early career and wizened veterans and everything in between--who relate their experiences at private schools and public, in rural settings and big cities, in the United States and abroad. This isn't to say there are no common threads, however. Many decided to risk their careers by coming out, not only because they wished to live more authentic lives, but because they wanted to be positive role models to their students. A number of educators write poignantly of the impact they have had on youngsters, of parents who thank them for "being there" for their child. The most compelling chapters describe spirited campaigns to force change on intolerant school cultures. VERDICT Recommended for academic libraries serving teachers-in-training and for public libraries of all sizes.--Seth Kershner, Northwestern Connecticut Community Coll. Lib., Winsted

     In 1988, Jennings came out as gay at the school where he taught and went on to help establish the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN). In this third collection of essays written by LGBTQ teachers, Jennings offers an update on the progress in the sexual revolution and the still-long way ahead in achieving equality since the first collection appeared in 1994. Contributors have gone from writing primarily under pseudonyms to openly declaring their status. They include both veteran and beginning teachers. They recall how teaching has helped them achieve self-acceptance, how fear of the reaction of their students has been shaped by their own adolescence, and how the need to carefully tread the boundaries between teacher and student has shaped the impulse to mentor students struggling with their own sexual identities. Contributors across the U.S. and the globe, from a wide spectrum of race, class, and sexual orientation among the LGBTQ community, offer 24 essays providing a fascinating look at the current state of acceptance of LGBTQ educators in the twenty-first century.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2015, American Library Association.)
