"Transgender Students in Elementary School will undoubtedly be a valuable and powerful tool in the hands of people who do want to build a better world for the trans and gender-nonconforming people living in it." >Transgender Students in Elementary School offers guidance to educators who want to provide a supportive school culture and climate for transgender and gender-expansive students. The book provides recommendations for creating learning environments that facilitate all students' sense of belonging and reduce the constraints inherent in binary gender norms. Through this book, teachers and school leaders can deepen their understanding about why they need to make schools gender-inclusive and how to make it happen. Focusing on case studies of five schools, Melinda M. Mangin provides real-life quotes and vignettes that candidly illustrate the learning curve of leaders, staff, and families. These stories demonstrate both the successes and challenges of creating affirming school environments for transgender and gender-expansive students. "This book is an incredible resource for researchers and practitioners alike. Mangin has captured the voices and successes of educators working to make safer, more affirming spaces for transgender students. Her writing makes complex content accessible and the action steps provided are relevant to all schools. This is a must-read for any school leader, family member, or educator who cares about gender equity in schools." --Elizabeth J. Meyer, associate professor, School of Education, University of Colorado Boulder "Written with clarity and care, this book offers crucial research-based insights into how schools can better address the needs of trans children. Dr. Mangin provides an accessible path for elementary educators seeking practical ways to cultivate classrooms where trans kids can thrive, and where greater gender freedom becomes possible for everyone." --Harper Keenan, Robert Quartermain Professor of Gender & Sexuality Research in Education, University of British Columbia Melinda M. Mangin is an associate professor in the Graduate School of Education at Rutgers University.
