Schools typically achieve this by revising antibullying policies and establishing GSAs (gay-straight student alliances). But it takes more than a deficit-based approach for schools to become places where LGBTQ students can fulfill their potential. In \u003ci\u003eSafe Is Not Enough\u003c\/i\u003e, Michael Sadowski highlights how educators can make their schools more supportive of LGBTQ students' positive development and academic success. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Sadowski\u003c\/b\u003e teaches about youth development and education at Bard College and is director of the Bard Early College-Hudson Initiative, a program to offer Bard courses to high school students in New York's Hudson Valley.
