Whether we know it or not, gender and sexual diversity exist in all classrooms. The course Teaching LGBTQ2S+ Students will help you understand the experiences of diverse gender identities and sexual orientations, encourage you to challenge your own biases, and provide you with tools to foster a truly inclusive environment for your LGBTQ2S+ students.

In this course you’ll complete practical tasks to broaden your perspective on teaching LGBTQ2S+ students. You’ll engage in guided discussions with your colleagues, explore a range of rich resources, learn about gender identities and sexual orientations, and begin your journey toward creating an inclusive, safe and engaging classroom and school community.
