How visible are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning (LGBTQ) issues in programs
that prepare educators and social workers to work in schools across Illinois? Which institutions include
sexual orientation and gender identity in their policies? Are sexual orientation and gender identity
identified in teacher and social work education programs’ conceptual frameworks? The Pre-
Professional Preparation Project (P-Project) seeks to answer these questions and to report the results
via the Visibility Matters report cards.
