Examining this issue through the lens of qualitative emancipatory action research, a group of Australian teachers embarked on a journey of teacher advocacy. Critical theory has long highlighted teachers as key players in either challenging dominant social narratives, or else perpetuating oppressive systems of power through traditional forms of education. Despite this important role, the life stories of teachers, which contributed to the development of their beliefs and behaviours about sexual orientation are rarely considered in the development of anti-discriminatory policy, designing the curriculum and most importantly, in teacher training. This book suggests and frames a model for advocacy, whereby teachers engage with their personal beliefs about sexual orientation, with their role as a teacher, and commit to advocacy through action by promoting student safety, challenging heteronormative narratives and role modelling compassionate behaviours in their school environments. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 Introduction to Sexual Orientation Inequality in Australia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 Sexual Orientation Inequality in Schools\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 Sexual Orientation Equality in Schools\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 Critical Theory\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 Social Transformation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e6 Research with Teachers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e7 Engaging with Inequality\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e8 Engaging as a Teacher\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e9 Promoting Safety\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e10 Modelling\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e11 Conclusion\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52091383775575,"sku":"9783030651459","price":70.77,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783030651459.jpg?v=1762274660","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/sexual-orientation-equality-in-schools-teacher-advocacy-and-action-research-9783030651459","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
