Title: Equal Educational Opportunity for All: Supporting Our LGBTQ Students
Description:Providing a safe and accepting educational environment for all students, including those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or gender non-conforming, begins with preparation of the adult and environment. In this workshop, participants will explore resources and tools available to help Montessorians prepare ourselves and our classrooms and schools to be inclusive and sensitive to the needs of LGBTQ students and their families. We will also discuss ways to address questions that are grounded in compassion, uphold confidentiality, and support expanding perspectives.
