Alternatives to punitive practices for classroom management and responding to violence
We are working on our school climate and culture and we want to examine how to create affirming environments for our LGBTQ+ students.
We want to provide our school staff with a common language and understanding of gender and/or sexuality and healthy identity development.
A transgender or gender expansive young person attends our school and we are seeking support for understanding best practice.
Students at our school have asked for staff training around best practices for supporting LGBTQ+ students.
Teachers at our school are reporting more and more students coming out as gender expansive and/or LGBTQ+ and have requested professional learning about serving LGBTQ+ students.
Parents in our community are requesting school staff receive professional development about serving gender expansive and/or LGBTQ+ youth.
New policies about gender have been developed and we want to learn how to most effectively implement them.
Our school has been engaged in equity work and we would like to establish ourselves as a leader by drafting and implementing inclusive policies and/or AP’s.
Our school is experiencing negative pressure from some parts of our community about our inclusive practices and we need support for responding sensitively and respectfully.
Our school is interested in starting GSA (Genders and Sexualities Alliances) and we would like your support.
Our GSA is looking for ideas for programming.
