As increasing numbers of LGBTQ young people live authentically in their self-identified genders and sexual orientations, K-12 schools can foster a positive learning environment by protecting the safety and well-being of these students and creating systems that support them to get an education like everyone else. We will explore the breadth of queer, trans, and gender-expansive identities, respectful interactions, legal issues, and best practices for addressing gender-specific settings, transition plans, privacy, community resistance, and student records in K-12 schools. This interactive, informative workshop will benefit all faculty, staff, administrators, providers, and community members in K-12 schools.
