Due Date: 11:59 pm EST Sunday of Unit 7
Points: 100
Overview:
Imagine you are a social worker at a high school. The school year will begin in two
weeks and the teachers have already returned. Your principal has just informed you that
a transgender student is transferring into the school, having encountered significant
bullying in their previous school. Your role is to help the school in supporting the new
student and making accommodations.
Instructions:
In this assignment, you will create a training guide for teachers and staff covering the
following points:
• What do teachers and staff need to know about transgender issues in general?
Discuss what information will be important to include in the training you will be
hosting.
• Research your state’s restroom or locker room laws and share the results. Will
this guide your decision-making in how to address locker room/bathroom issues
and developing school policies to put in place? If not, what policies would you
encourage the school to put in place to safeguard the student?
• Justify your suggestions to the school administration! Let’s suppose a member of
the Board of Education suggests the transgender student could “hide” and not
disclose being transgender for their safety. Explain why this would not be a good
solution. What are the costs of “hiding” for the student?
Requirements:
• Submit your assignment in a Word document.
• The paper must be in no less than three, no more than five pages in length.
• At least two outside resources.
Be sure to read the criteria by which your work will be evaluated before you write
and again after you write.
