Gender Diversity: PK-12 Inclusion


As visibility of transgender, nonbinary, Two-Spirit, queer, and gender-nonconforming cisgender students increases (at present 20% of all students), the realization these students (and their gender-expansive teachers, staff, and administrators) exist in every school district, charter school, and private school worldwide requires a call to action in order to establish trauma-informed social emotional learning in classrooms and other academic environments.


Learning Objectives and Skills Acquisition:
  • Better understanding of differential aspects of gender diversity including:
    • Identity vs. Expression
