Toward a Gender-Inclusive Classroom | Rachel Bailey Jones | TEDxNazarethCollege

In this TEDxNazarethCollege talk, education professor Rachel Bailey Jones, Ph.D., shares entry-level and advanced-level strategies for teachers to support gender inclusion in the classroom - and she gives the context for why it matters. The educational system has long addressed political issues by omission or by taking a position, such as with boarding schools, racial segregation, sexism, and ableism. In addition to teaching, Dr. Bailey Jones is co-director of the honors program. She received her Ph.D. from UNC-Greensboro in Educational Leadership and Cultural Foundations, with a certificate in Women & Gender Studies in 2007, an MST in Art Education from the Rochester Institute of Technology in 2002, and a BFA in Painting from UNC-Chapel Hill in 1999. Her areas of scholarly interest are visual culture, critical visual literacy, graphic narratives, and the use of social media by teachers and in the educational system. She published her first book, Postcolonial Representations of Women: Critical Issues for Education, in 2011; her second book, (Re)thinking Orientalism: Using Graphic Narratives to Teach Critical Visual Literacy in 2016; and she co-edited the book Innovations in Conversations About Teaching: Beyond the Workshop with Maria Hopkins in 2021. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Thank you for this. Queer kids exist. They have a right to learn in an environment where they are seen and affirmed. They deserve to be safe and affirmed regardless of political agendas or public discourse!

This is such a convoluted solution to the issue of gender nonconforming people being ostracized

This lady is at the center of the darkness she mentions multiple times. Her steps promote the lifestyles for students that will ultimately lead to challenging futures detrimental to their contentment.
