The volume introduces and sensitizes educators to the complexities of gay identity and sets forth some of the isses facing gay youth in high schools. Contributors survey ``gay-friendly'' curricula in a number of subject areas, including literature, sex education, sports and social studies. Vital teaching strategies, intervention techniques and staff training recommendations form an integral part of the analyses and are designed to help teachers and counsellors better address the academic and psychological needs of gay students and redress homophobia in the school setting. The Gay Teen also showcases the pioneering safe spaces that educators have created for students--gay as well as straight--who are struggling to forge sexual identities during the tough years of adolescence. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Excellent book for educators!This is an excellent compilation of essays written by various people in education dealing with queer youth issues. The book is informative and offers concrete advice for incorporation of queer studies into the high school curricula. It's underlying theme lies in "normalizing" queer issues in schools so GLBTQ students begin to feel more accepted and may thus be happier in their high school experiences.
