Abstract
As institutions reflective of the larger social discourse, schools are prime sites for the reinforcement and perpetuation of the status quo with regard to gender and sexuality. It is incumbent upon teachers and teacher educators to consider how their beliefs about gender and sexuality influence pedagogy and construct limits for the education of students. In response, they need opportunities to develop counter practices for their schools and classrooms.
