It Takes a Team! Making Sports Safe for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Athletes and Coaches. An Education Kit for Athletes, Coaches, and Athletic Directors.

This educational kit focuses on the safe education of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) students. It includes four sections that examine: (1) "Introduction" (e.g., why it is important to address homophobia in sport, educator responsibilities, and who this educational kit is for); (2) "The Core Program: Video and Discussion" (discussion leader preparation, introducing the video, discussion guidelines, discussing the video, discussion questions, handouts following the video and discussion, and evaluation tools); (3) "Additional Information and Handouts" (e.g., laws, policies, and procedures; terms and definitions; case studies; frequently asked questions about LGBT people in sport; guides to handling anti-gay harassment for administrators, educators, families, and students; a guide to handling student harassment at the time that it occurs; and assessing the athletic climate); and (4) "Resources" (books, videos, Web-based resources and organizations, hotlines, and trainers and consultants).
