This document provides an overview of a research study that evaluated the first three years of the Reduction of Stigma in Schools program. The program aims to provide educators with resources to support LGBTQ students and disrupt institutional practices that marginalize these youth. The study explored educators' experiences in the program to identify successes and areas for improvement. It also examined how educators understand their professional responsibility in relation to the workshop's objectives of increasing awareness of LGBTQ youth experiences, developing strategies to make schools more supportive, and learning ways to disrupt stigma. Literature on LGBTQ youth experiences in schools establishes the context, outlining how schools institutionalize heterosexuality and gender norms, marginalizing LGBTQ students.

Panel 2 - An Immigrant Paradox? Civic Engagement Among Immigrant & Undocumented Youth:
Undocumented and immigrant youth, particularly those from Hispanic/Latino backgrounds, face persistent marginalization in the United States, yet many of these same youth are actively engaged in their communities. Panelists will share their views on what engagement looks like, the challenges involved, and what we can do to support the civic engagement of undocumented and immigrant youth.
Bullying is unwanted aggressive behavior among school-aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. It includes actions like threats, rumors, verbal or physical attacks, and social exclusion. Children who are targets of bullying tend to be different from peers in terms of appearance, popularity or ability to defend themselves. Bullies tend to be aggressive, frustrate easily, disrespect others, struggle with rules and view violence positively. Bullying occurs in schools, parks, online, in transportation, workplaces, streets and isolated places. It negatively impacts mental health and can lead to depression, anxiety, health issues, poor academic performance and even suicide.
Counselors must be aware of the diverse types of students they serve, including those who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender. The counseling approach should focus on understanding what stage of acceptance the client is at regarding their sexual orientation. Common issues LGBT students face include identity confusion, anxiety, depression, abuse, and academic problems. Counselors should work to make institutional changes to support LGBT students and ensure a safe environment through policies, awareness programs, and resources.
Bullying Prevention Conference - LGBT Bullying with Trans FocusAli Cannon
Ali Michael Cannon is a transgender student outreach coordinator in the San Leandro Unified School District who is helping to change the school climate and create a safer environment for LGBTQ youth. Statistics show high rates of harassment against LGBTQ students in California schools. Cannon shares their own story of coming out as transgender and advocates for inclusion through a gay-straight alliance club, lessons on gender in literature classes, and panels with LGBTQ students. The presentation emphasizes the importance of preventing harassment through policies, curriculum, and building a respectful, welcoming environment for all students.
Despite LGBTQ youth facing hostility and lack of support in many schools, creating inclusive environments is important for both safety and academic success. Schools need policies protecting LGBTQ students from discrimination, trained staff, and resources that increase understanding and visibility of LGBTQ identities. This reduces isolation and vulnerability while promoting equal treatment that benefits all students.
Affirmative action perspectives documentsShelby Jones
The document summarizes research showing that affirmative action can negatively impact students who receive large admissions preferences, including those based on race. Specifically, these students tend to earn poor grades, have lower graduation rates, change out of difficult majors, self-segregate, and struggle on licensing exams. However, when matched students attend less selective schools where their academic credentials are closer to the average, their outcomes improve substantially. The research suggests affirmative action may unintentionally harm the very students it aims to help by placing them in environments where they are likely to struggle academically.

Panel 5 - RESTORING JUSTICE IN OUR SCHOOLS: POSITIVE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT APPROACHES TO THE DISCIPLINE GAP
Youth of color are disproportionately suspended from school, causing youth to miss critical time of instruction, evoke feelings of hopelessness, and contributing to the “school to prison pipeline.” This panel considered what research and practice tell us about dismantling the pipeline and promoting positive developmental outcomes for youth of color with a focus on youth-centered principles of restorative justice.
The document discusses bullying laws and prevention strategies. It notes that while 49 states have laws against bullying, there is no federal law. Pennsylvania's bullying law covers cyberbullying and bullying off school grounds. Schools are required to address bullying in their conduct policies. Promising prevention strategies include getting the whole school community involved in promoting respect and empowering students to stand up for victims.
- Gangs are typically defined as groups of 3 or more people who share an identity and engage in ongoing criminal activity. Gang members are often between 12-24 years old.
- Gangs are more prevalent in schools located in urban cities with populations from 100,000 to 1 million people, but gang problems affect communities of all sizes. Youth join gangs when family and school environments have failed them.
- Gang membership is usually short-term, with half to two-thirds of members only staying for a year or less. The race/ethnicity of gang members reflects the surrounding community.
- Gang violence occurs more frequently in heavily populated
Bullying has negative effects on children's development, causing issues like depression, anxiety, poor academic performance, and increased risk of suicide. Verbal, physical, emotional, and cyber bullying can all negatively impact victims. Preventing bullying through programs and policies aims to support children's healthy social and emotional growth.
The document discusses the relationship between bullying, juvenile delinquency, and their causes. It states that low self-esteem, dysfunctional families, substance abuse, and observing criminal behavior can lead to both bullying and delinquency. Children who are bullied or who have incarcerated parents are also more likely to engage in delinquent acts due to mental health issues and a lack of positive role models. The document recommends addressing the issues through therapy, school counseling programs, and interventions that foster friendships and accountability.
The Effects Of Bullying On The Gay Persons Self Esteemcw2001
Bullying has long lasting negative effects on the self-esteem of gay individuals.

LGBTQ Curriculum Inclusion: The Role of the School LibraryElizabeth Gartley
International Association of School Librarianship: 44th Annual International Conference & 17th International Forum on Research in School Librarianship. Maastricht, The Netherlands. June 2015. Professional Paper.
This document discusses educational and social issues faced by LGBT students in U.S. schools. It finds that LGBT students experience high rates of harassment, bullying, and physical assault based on their sexual orientation. This leads to increased absenteeism, lower academic performance, and higher dropout rates for LGBT students compared to their heterosexual peers. The document also examines what policies and school programs, such as Gay-Straight Alliances and supportive staff, have been shown to help improve the school experience and performance of LGBT students.
Creating a safe environment for your students, one that’s inclusive of all sexual orientations and gender affiliations, is vital for the success of your school. Educational consultant Jennifer Bryan offers valuable recommendations in this Net Assets article (published March/April 2012) for fostering a school atmosphere open to LGBTQI students, including an inclusivity checklist that will help you assess how your school stacks up.

Sex education provides instruction on issues relating to human sexuality, including relationships, anatomy, activity, reproduction and health. While traditionally considered taboo, sex education was introduced in schools in the late 19th century. However, adolescents still received most information informally until the late 20th century. The AIDS epidemic increased the urgency of sex education, seen as vital for public health. While controversial, most parents and students support sex education in schools, though LGBT topics remain divisive due to some viewing them as inappropriate or a violation of religious beliefs.
“ Más allá de la oleada, menores no acompañados en espera de ser escuchados”.El Mundo S. de R.L
Refugee children often experience disruptions to their education and limited schooling opportunities before resettling in countries like the United States. In countries of first asylum, refugee children face language barriers, discrimination, large class sizes, and inconsistent quality of instruction. They are also more accustomed to teacher-centered learning rather than the child-centered approach used in U.S. schools. A new report from the Migration Policy Institute examines how these pre-resettlement educational experiences can impact how refugee children adjust to schools in the United States. The report is based on case studies of refugee children in several countries and identifies strategies teachers can use to help overcome educational gaps and engage refugee students.
This document summarizes key issues faced by GLBTQ youth and the responsibilities of school psychologists to advocate for them. It finds that GLBTQ youth experience high rates of victimization but social support can help. While diversity training programs have improved, many school psychologists do not feel prepared to advocate for GLBTQ students due to a lack of training and potential personal biases. It argues that school psychologists must examine their own beliefs and be willing to separate personal views from professional responsibilities to effectively promote acceptance for all students.

3. If reading clubs helped just 100 students in Waco ISD choose not to drop out each year, it could save the city of Waco $30 million over those students' lifetimes in increased tax revenues and reduced social costs. In 10
