Description
The phenomenon of bullying is one that can impact any student, and yet its impact on GT students is different than on other students. This session explores the ways in which bullying uniquely impacts the GT student populations and ways in which administrators, teachers, counselors, and other students can help to root out homophobia, a major cause of bullying. GT students can be at greater risk for bullying due to homophobia as they frequently do not fit in with their peers as well as many regular education students might, or conform to rigid gender-based roles.
No items are available for this session.
