Gender Google: FAQs re: Schools

Saturday, August 3, 2019 at 4:20 PM–5:50 PM PDT
Salon A
Workshop Description

This session is dedicated to participant questions related to supporting transgender and gender-expansive students at school, as well as creating a school climate that addresses gender stereotyping to encourage classrooms to break out of the limits of the gender binary and to embrace the full spectrum of gender for all students. This FAQ is the equivalent of a live and in-person Google chat that you will not want to miss as each participant will be considered a valued expert in the field. Additionally, multiple “right” answers to each question will be explored for the broadest range of possibility in creating schools where students of all genders will thrive!
