A proposito di questo titolo


When physics and math teacher Rosaline Keane Kelly (she/her) began her teaching journey in Ireland, she didn’t yet know she was trans. Education became the mirror that helped her understand herself—and the space where she learned to lead with authenticity.


In this episode, Rosaline shares what it was like to come out and transition while teaching in a religiously influenced school system, how she now builds inclusive science classrooms, and why belonging and laughter matter as much as lesson plans.


Listeners will learn:

  • How teaching placement stress and self-discovery intertwined in Rosaline’s transition
  • Strategies for modeling inclusivity in science classrooms
  • Ways to handle misgendering and the “apology spiral”
  • How to build belonging and restorative practice with students
  • What trans joy and authenticity look like in daily teaching life
