Abstract

In recent years, queer youth have been in the media spotlight on issues ranging from attending prom to suicide. As novice teachers adapt to their new profession, in order to truly meet the needs of all students, they must understand the variety of issues that impact their success. Where this topic is concerned, this article fills a major gap in the literature for teacher preparation and induction. The article discusses the plight of queer youth and provides suggestions for new and veteran teachers to become advocates for queer youth.
