PREFACE:

This space has been created for educators, administrators, parents, and youth advocates and attendees of “Creating LGBTQ+ and Gender-Inclusive Schools: A Human Rights Campaign” as a forum for sharing experiences and reflections as they work through these resources. On this page, we invite and encourage you to share your experiences and reflections, ideas and insights and engage with others to address questions surrounding creating gender-inclusive schools.

While these resources are intended to offer an introduction on the subject of creating a safe learning environment for all, our list is not intended to be exhaustive and we welcome suggestions to other potential resources.

With this next workshop on April 13th, 2019, along with both the provided and suggested resources on this page, we hope readers will (re)commit themselves to thinking deeply about how we can make sure each child is honored and seen.
