Abstract	As queer-identified women and former elementary school teachers who now work in universities as teacher educators, the authors spent the past decade developing a range of approaches to help elementary school teachers integrate lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ)-inclusive practices into their teaching: "expanding representations" of LGBTQ people, "questioning categories" with regard to gender and sexuality, and "questioning representations" within LGBTQ-inclusive texts. In this article, they explain why LGBTQ-inclusive elementary school instruction matters, outline the approaches they have developed and have used in real-life classrooms, and suggest resources for teachers as they do this work.
