I wanted a bit more action steps to continue building but if your school has nothing this can be a good place to get ideas.

Great read for educators and allies
This is a great and quick read for all the busy educators and allies out there who are looking for what it really means to have not just safe schools for LGBTQI+ students but inclusive and welcoming schools. Would recommend to anyone!!!

Great read. What Sadowski advocates in this book should be obvious, but clearly the education system has a ways to go. The most illustrative part is the massive number of case studies that Sadowski uses to illuminate how LGBTQ+ students can and should be included in school culture, curriculum, and life.

A really great book on this subject. It helped me tremendously when I wanted to look for ways we can improve the schools for LGBTQ+ students. The book features many case studies which you can use as examples or models to follow. It gave me a lot to think about, especially on how schools can progress beyond just being safe for LGBTQ+ students.

A relatively short book with some good points but not much depth. I don't disagree with anything that the author says, but he does not give much specific advice. The most interesting points he made were about the nature of creating LGBTQ-inclusive elementary and middle schools. It is obviously aimed at an audience that is relatively new the subject, and for that target audience I would recommend it. It provides a nice surface overview of issues that face LGBTQ youth and those that want to make schools more inclusive.
Notably absent are a vocabulary list (which would have been good for readers new to the subject) and the voices of LGBTQ youth of color (except for one story about a school in Hawai'i that was really neat).
