About This Lesson
Presented below are the findings from the 13th installment of Glisten’s National School Climate Survey (NSCS), the longest running survey of its kind. We draw from survey and focus group data about the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 school years, respectively. We find in this study a simple lived reality–LGBTQ+ (including intersex, asexual, and two-spirit) youth experiences in schools are multi-dimensional and they defy any effort to impose a singular narrative of either ‘targets’ and ‘victims’, or ‘leaders’ and ‘resilient’.
