Research
GLSEN’s Research Department supports the organization’s mission by conducting original research, making evaluations of GLSEN programs and initiatives, and creating resources that document anti-LGBT bias in education (K-12 schools). The department also provides research-related technical assistance and tools designed to be used by educators and students in their own communities.
Research Suggests Principals Underestimate LGBT Bullying
Survey reveals that K-12 principals underestimate the harassment LGBT students experience in schools. Although principals report their schools engage in anti-bullying/harassment efforts, most do not specifically address school safety for LGBT students.
