On-Demand Webinars
Description: In 2023 the rights of LGBTQIA+ Americans are in jeopardy across the country, especially in the classroom. It is a difficult and confusing time for school administrators, teachers, parents, and students; both those in the LGBTQIA+ community and those who wish to support and advocate for the community as allies. We believe that it is important to advocate for, take action with, and be in support of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Learning Objectives:By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
1.Craft a clear and supportive mission statement.
2.Signal support through classroom decor and passive indicators.
3. Incorporate LGBTQIA+ themes and history into your curriculum.
4. Design policies that protect LGBTQIA+ students and staff.
