Morning | Safe Zone Training
While every classroom should be a safe place for LGBTQ+ students, staff who have been Safe Zone trained are staff who have additional knowledge, resources, and skills to provide direct supports to students. GSAFE's Safe Zone trainings are fun, fast-paced, and informative. Educators will learn and practice skills to directly support LGBTQ+ youth in a variety of situations.
Staff who are Safe Zone Trained will leave with:
- Increased knowledge about LGBTQ+ identity and issues impacting LGBTQ+ youth
- Increased ability to respond to questions about LGBTQ+ people and topics
- Increased ability to address anti-LGBTQ+ bias and behaviors
- Increased ideas on how to reliably demonstrate support for LGBTQ+ youth
Afternoon | From Perspectives to Practice: Creating Gender Inclusive Schools
Gender Inclusive schools support all students, including transgender and nonbinary students. The first half of this workshop will help you gain an understanding of the complex dimensions of gender, including key terminology and concepts. It will provide you with perspectives from children and families, and introduce a framework of entry points for creating gender inclusive schools. The second half moves from perspectives to practice, and offers specifics steps and strategies that educators and institutions can implement to create classrooms and schools that support and nurture gender diversity for all students.
Participants will:
- Learn about sex assigned at birth, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, including how they are connected to and different from each other.
- Understand the experiences and concerns of transgender and nonbinary students and families, and gain tools and strategies for providing one-on-one supports.
- Gain a framework that provides personal, structural, interpersonal, and instructional entry points for deconstructing the gender binary and create gender inclusive spaces
