Product Overview
This guide provides K-12 educators with the knowledge and skills to create safe and inclusive school environments for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQ) students. In recent years, more national attention has been focused on the unique needs and challenges facing LGBTQ youth. The commitment of schools to improve safety and inclusion of diverse student groups requires all staff to understand LGBTQ identities and the challenges facing these students, and to be equipped with skills and strategies to create needed change. As an educator, you can take proactive steps to transform your school climate to one that tackles anti-LGBTQ bias, promotes respect and dignity for all, and ensures LGBTQ safety and inclusion.
