Every teacher wants school to be a safe space for all students. A space where students can be who they are and express their ideas in an open, collaborative way.

When we talk about the bullying of LGBTQ+ students, however, it isn’t as simple as addressing aggressors alone.

Discover what Wisconsin educator, Patty Zemke has to share about how the bullying of LGBTQ+ students is more than just an aggressor-victim conflict, and demonstrate ways you can create a welcoming space for students of all identities in a short video in the post on the aka Teacher blog.
