Graduate School of Education Joins 'It Gets Better' Movement

In support of an anti-bullying campaign for LGBT youth, affiliates of the Harvard Graduate School of Education released a video today that seeks to deliver one simple message: It gets better.

The four-minute video contains interviews with Ed School faculty, staff, and students in which they share their experiences.

The testimonials in the video are unscripted, the school said in a press release. Kathleen McCartney, the dean of the Graduate School of Education, emailed school affiliates inviting them to share their stories.

The video is a contribution to the It Gets Better Project, which seeks to assure LGBT youth who may face bullying or harassment that their lives will improve. The project was created following the suicides of several gay teenagers who were bullied due to their sexual orientation.
