The personal is pedagogical: how teacher identities inform students' experience of Sex Education.
Title of Event: The personal is pedagogical: how teacher identities inform students' experience of Sex Education.
Description of Event:
Young LGBT+ and disabled people say that sex education needs to reflect their experiences, and that it needs to be done by someone who isn't cisgender, heterosexual and able-bodied. Talking about our personal lives is often actively avoided by educators, this lecture explains why knowing a teacher's identity matters to students, and how we can begin to inject our identity into our teaching.
Objective:
By the end of this lecture, participants will be able to decide whether or not to reveal their identities into their pedagogical practice and describe a method for disclosing their identities to a group of students.
