, , &
Pages 118-133 | Published online: 05 May 2020
 

Abstract

LGBTQ+ students experience discrimination within schools and increased rates of academic and mental health concerns when compared to heterosexual and cisgender peers. The researchers delivered an LGBTQ+ training to teacher education and school administration students before participants entered field placement in K-12 schools. Participants learned about LGBTQ+ student needs, their own biases, and basic helping skills to support student needs in school. The researchers administered the Gay Affirmative Practice Scale before and after the training, finding significant increases in participants’ self-reported affirmative beliefs and behaviors. Assessment psychometrics and implications for school personnel and professional counselors are provided.
