Abstract:
LGBTQ+-identifying preservice teachers must navigate several different contexts, including the university and public schools, wherein they must make decisions about being open ("out") regarding their LGBTQ+ identities. However, the small amount of research to date has typically focused on the experiences of LGBTQ+ educators already actively working in public schools. In this year-long, qualitative case study, we present the experiences, perspectives, and challenges of two elementary preservice teachers who identify as gay and lesbian through their year-long student teaching placement. The study offers implications for teacher education programs about often overlooked ways to recruit, support, and advocate for LGBTQ+ preservice teachers.
