Description: This community of practice aims to support LGBTQ educators, staff, and students. We will offer strategies to support inclusion and diversity within existing frameworks and curriculum, best practices, and ways in which the NJEA can support our members. We will tackle topics like vocabulary, equity, and inclusion for both staff and students. Our community is both a safe and brave space – encouraging members to be supported and grow in their knowledge. This is not a sit-and-get workshop. It’s a collaborative space to share ideas, ask questions, and connect with others who understand the realities of education – while gaining simple, sustainable tools you can use right away. Come for the ideas. Stay for the connection. Leave feeling balanced, energized, and well while also getting tools for the support that you and your students need.
