Title Improved ITE courses can make classrooms more LGBT-inclusive Degree of recognition National Media name/outlet The Educator Media type Web Country/Territory Australia Date 8/04/22 Description In 2021, a study from Western Sydney University revealed that 93% of LGBT students had heard homophobic language while in school, with more than a third admitting to experiencing slurs almost daily. This makes it imperative for authority figures to do what they can to support LGBT students inside the classroom, pre-service teachers (PST) included. Professional legislation requires teachers to make reasonable adjustments to make education equitable for all by removing barriers to learning. However, legislation alone is not enough to change the status quo.
