One Teacher in Ten in the New Millennium

Twenty completely new stories of negotiating the triumphs and challenges of being an LGBT educator in the twenty-first century
Following on two successful volumes of original stories published in 1994 and 2004, this all-new collection in the "One Teacher in Ten "series brings together stories from all over America--and around the world. The result is a rich tapestry of varied experiences. From a teacher who feels he must remain closeted in the comparative safety of New York City public schools to teachers who are out in places as far afield as South Africa and China, the educators in "One Teacher in Ten in the New Millennium" prove that LGBT teachers are as diverse and complex as humanity itself. Voices largely absent from the first two editions--including transgender people, people of color, teachers working in rural districts, and educators from outside the United States--feature prominently in this new collection, giving readers a richer and deeper understanding of the array of experiences of LGBT educators.
