Join us for an interactive session for an introduction to common terms, pronouns, and respectful language to help us navigate our work with LGBTQ+ students. We will chat about heteronormativity, cisnormativity, gender and sexuality, representation, and most importantly, how to support students by creating safe and inclusive environments for them in your classrooms!
