Celebrating Difference: A whole-school approach to LGBT+ inclusion

Product Information

Case studies and interviews with pupils and teachers who have experienced the Inclusion For All process and unique research insights from Dr Joseph Hall, University of Leeds, demonstrate how the strategies work in practice. Clear guidance will also enable schools to comply with Ofsted and statutory equality legislation, and help them to teach children about British values, basic human rights and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). In this session Shaun will draw on his acclaimed book, advocacy, training and research as an award-winning educator, author and LGBT+ advocate to inspire colleagues to lead strategic, practical whole school change in respect of intersectional and compassionate LGBT+ inclusion. Avoid talking to other students about a classmate’s difference, outside of the parameters they are happy with, even if they ask. If the points above are already well covered then it will be quite straightforward to encourage a curious or doubtful youngster to get to know their classmate for themselves. The children are unlikely to be familiar with the flower names on the last slide. They are quite unusual flowers, but they all grow in the UK and Ireland. They are all beautiful and they are all different. Shaun Dellenty's whole-school approach to LGBT+ inclusion is a huge stride towards genuine organisational change. Regardless of the stage you or your school are at, this accessible and stimulating book will be highly relevant and of much value.

We can only truly celebrate difference when we face prejudice head-on, including our own. - Lord Michael Cashman CBE, Founder of Stonewall For example, you could talk about the history of disablism to share how the disability rights movement came about and show why it is important that people are given equal rights.

So many older LGBT+ people will be able to relate to Shaun's personal journey; it's why we need to constantly be reminding people of the “not so long ago” past. Celebrating Difference is written beautifully with honesty and passion to make LGBT+ education understandable for everybody, without any barriers or prejudice needing to be in place. Once children have the knowledge and understanding, they will lead the way to becoming the LGBT+ educators of their siblings, mothers, fathers and other family members. If a pupil has a disability, disfigurement, or something that makes them appear 'different' to others, make sure you work with them to discuss what they want to share with others. Support them to define themselves and take the lead in their own lives A series of lesson plans for Years 1, 3, 4 and 6, covering topics including celebrating difference,... Imagine a flower bed in a garden. In it grow all the lovely flowers we have been learning about today. How pretty it would look! Like the allium, the leucojum is a bulb. It ’s called a snowflake and is a bit like a snowdrop, but with a rounder flower. All six petals are the same size, unlike the snowdrop, whose inner three petals are smaller than the outer three.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Celebrating Difference and consider it a very timely book. This text uses a clear structure to move through the personal experiences of the author, through education practice, to a consideration of the issues from a more theoretical view. It situates LGBT+ within the context of inclusive education as well as providing practical approaches to the development of practice in schools. I shall certainly be using this text with both undergraduate education students, as well as student practitioners reading for their Masters in Inclusive Education. Now think about your class and each member of it. It is the combination of children with all their differences that makes it such a rich place.The meconopsis is a blue poppy-like flower, one of the few blue flowers around. It has a long stem, with several flowers on each stem. If you want to ensure that difference is understood and experienced in ways that are positive for everyone, it's important to: Ask pupils to spend a few moments thinking about the ways in which they are different from the people next to them. Do they look different? Do they like different things? Do they have different strengths and weaknesses? Can you think of a friend that has been able to teach you something new, because they come from a different place or speak a different language?
