To meet this goal, ODE’s LGBTQ2SIA+ Student Success Plan has recommended taking an equity-centered approach to education that focuses on students’ strengths and excellence. The current research brief draws on data from the Student Educational Equity Development (SEED) Survey to explore students’ experiences of such practices. ODE researchers identified three themes: 1) LGBTQ2SIA+ Affirmation, 2) AntiLGBTQ2SIA+ Discrimination or Bias, and 3) LGBTQ2SIA+ Empowerment.  \nKey findings:  \n• Students have a wide range of experiences with equity-centered practices at school  \n• Equity-centered practices impact students’ mental and physical health, sense of safety and belonging, and school engagement  \n• Several systems-level factors act as a barrier to schools fully embodying an equity-centered approach to education  \n• Some equity-centered practices may elicit retaliation that schools should anticipate and prepare for  \nLGBTQ2SIA+ Affirmation  \nLGBTQ2SIA+ Affirmation refers to policies that value and honor LGBTQ2SIA+ youth and families in school systems and that positively represent system-impacted gender identities and sexual orientations in education. Affirming practices at schools can range from asking about and using students’ chosen pronouns and names, to providing access to safe and clean bathrooms for students of all genders, to offering comprehensive sexuality education. Research suggests that LGBTQ2SIA+ students’ experience of affirmation at schools in Oregon is mixed. For instance, GLSEN’s 2021 Oregon State Snapshot found that virtually all LGBTQ2SIA+ students knew of at least one staff member who was supportive of the LGBTQ2SIA+ community and that slightly more than half felt that their school administrators were supportive of the LGBTQ2SIA+ community. However, the same report and Oregon’s 2022 Student Health Survey found that most students  \n1 “LGBTQ2SIA+” encompasses multiple gender identities and sexual orientations including Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Two-Spirit, Intersex, and Asexual. The plus sign (“+”) recognizes that there are myriad ways to describe gender identities and sexual orientations.  \nfelt they had limited access to LGBTQ2SIA+ inclusive curriculum or sex education. 2 Similarly, the Trevor Project’s 2022 National Survey on LGBT Youth Mental Health found that less than half of LGBTQ2SIA+ students in Oregon considered school to be an affirming space. 3  \nAnti-LGBTQ2SIA+ Bias and Discrimination  \nAnti-LGBTQ2SIA+ Bias and Discrimination refers to how schools approach, prevent, and address harm to LGBTQ2SIA+ students. Effectively addressing anti-LGBTQ2SIA+ bias and discrimination is a particularly complex issue with a host of policy challenges. Preventative mechanisms can include, but are not limited to, the existence and enforcement of policies which prohibit any kind of hate symbol, speech, or behavior at school, whether that be from students or staff (e.g., teachers, administrators) . If bias or discrimination does occur, promising approaches to address such incidents are those which focus on harm reduction, are trauma-informed, and are healing-centered.4 Despite schools’ ongoing efforts, GLSEN’s 2021 Snapshot found that it is an unfortunate reality that most LGBTQ2SIA+ students in Oregon still report experiencing anti-LGBTQ2SIA+ bias or discrimination and many report such experiences in relation to their other marginalized identities as well (e.g., racial identity, disability) .  \nLGBTQ2SIA+ Empowerment  \nLGBTQ2SIA+ Empowerment refers to how schools support students’ capacity to give back to their community and to create a more equitable world. Practices that align with this component include helping students develop the skills to understand, critique, and act against injustice.
