Experience the learning you aspire to design
Join our live Professional Learning Pathway created by Tricia Friedman, Thursday November 4, 2021.
Choose the session time that works best for you: 8am PST or 4pm PST
This 2 hour zoom series will help all educators K-12 rethink what LGBTQIA+ Inclusion in their school means. As schools aim to create schools that are welcoming, supportive, and truly future-ready we must learn to address ways our schools have not been
identity-affirming for all learners.
This live session will give you actionable resources that you can use in your practice tomorrow. We will provide a reflection portfolio for you to use as you document your learning and goals. This portfolio will be set up to simplify the process of transferring your learning to your PLC and peers.
The practical resources will be accompanied by research that explores why this work matters, and how all students benefit from a more inclusive learning environment. Are you ready to rethink LGBTQIA+ Inclusion?
The Learning
Getting Started: What are small steps we can take tomorrow that have a massive impact for our community? How might we build a working definition for allyship to bring back to our community? Which audits and question frameworks are most necessary in my context?
Sustaining the Work: How do we address potential pushback? What myths can we address with research? How might we rehearse a so-called ‘difficult conversation’? How can we co-author goals for inclusion with our community?
So Now What? Allyship is a verb Superintendents and School leaders can and must engage with. Learn how we can rethink and revise policy as well as look at school-wide curriculum-wide changes that will mark true change. School leaders will engage with resources that will help them model LGBTQIA+ allyship for the entire school community.
