Bodo Heiliger & Susan Whitaker
Bodo Heiliger & Susan Whitaker
- Based on personal experiences of teaching the book And, Tango Makes Three, this case study explores the dilemmas of beginning GLBTQ discussions in early elementary students' experiences.
- This case study is currently being taught at the Harvard Graduate School of Education in Professor Kay Merseth's course: School Reform: Curricular and Instructional Leadership.
- This case study was adapted to fit the South African school system and published by Professor Sarah Gravett, Dean of the Faculty of Education at the University of Johannesburg, in Being a Teacher: A Book of Cases (Pearson) in order to help teachers support GLBTQ students.

RECLAIMING LITERATURE CIRCLES: CELEBRATING THE BEAUTY OF CHILD-LED DISCUSSIONS (FORTHCOMING)
Students can, regardless of age, race, gender, or socio-economic background, have developmentally appropriate and meaningful discussions with their peers on their own for extended periods of time. It is when we take away responsibility that they lose the desire, the desire to read and care. Students can choose their own books. They can hold independent discussions on their own. They can do more than many think they can. We, as educators, have to guide them. Teachers need courage to allow students to feel independence, creativity, and choice. This book will provide teachers with the courage necessary to empower their students.
