Answers to all your burning questions and practical advice for helping LGBTQ+ students thrive

In Teach Like an Ally: An Educator's Guide to Nurturing LGBTQ+ Students, veteran classroom teacher and celebrated transgender advocate Flint Del Sol weaves humor, storytelling, and expertise into a hands-on guide for educator-allies. Del Sol offers actionable strategies that you can implement in classrooms right away. He also tackles the complex questions teachers face: What should you do when a student asks for one name in the classroom, but another at home? Or when you're sure a student is trans, but they haven't said anything to you? How do you know your bathroom pass policy isn't hurting your most vulnerable students? What do you do when your values are at odds with school policy?

Building a positive school climate doesn't have to be intimidating. In Teach Like an Ally, you'll learn how educators can support each other and how we can all give LGBTQ+ students the best possible chance to flourish.

  • Get candid answers to difficult questions about LGBTQ+ students in the classroom
  • Become a stronger ally by understanding what LGBTQ+ students go through in secondary school settings
  • Learn the research-backed practices you can implement to make your classroom a safe space for all
  • Support all students in developing compassion and understanding for one another

This pragmatic book is for teachers, administrators, families, and anyone committed to the wellbeing of LGBTQ+ students in secondary classrooms.

“Poignant, inspiring, and timely, Teach Like an Ally is a must-read for anyone with LGBTQ+ young people in their lives.
