What is Dead Name

Chapter 3
Incorporating LGBTQ+ Identities in K-12 Curriculum and Policy
Refers to the name a person—usually a transgender person—was assigned at birth. The dead name is discarded when the person chooses a new name reflective of their identity. Teachers should be aware that dead names often appear on class rosters, and calling transgender students by their dead names immediately outs them to their peers, something teachers should avoid at all costs.

Abstract
Teacher education programs as a whole do little to prepare graduates to create and maintain classroom and school cultures that recognize and affirm lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning/queer + (LGBTQ+) identities. This chapter describes how an English education program chair at a Midwestern university has integrated the study of sexual and gender diversity alongside English language arts pedagogy in three different courses, including specific texts and learning activities, as well as student responses to the in-class experiences. Recommendations for future study and curriculum design are addressed.
