Donβt Say Gay: Preparing School Counselors to Support LGBTQ+ Students in Unsafe School Environments https://t.co/jD0H06fb54
This year, we asked you to share #YourParkStory and you delivered! Thank you to everyone who shared their park stories, memories, and adventures with us!
Stayed late at work tonight to make sure this session is the best it can be so we can serve our LGBTQIA+ students the best we can. Plenty of time to sign up - see you there!
@_chilliard @EqualityVA I don't think most districts have made a final decision yet (mine has not) but this'll update as they do. Their school board advocacy training is also great - highly recommend!!
The policies, named the βModel Policies on Ensuring Privacy, Dignity, and Respect for All Students and Parents in Virginiaβs Public Schools,β emphasize parent rights and contain language similar to the draft of the policies released last fall. https://t.co/Iwe0mtkKU7
Educators can take a note from this exchange. This brother is schooling the reporter. We have to reframe failure as learning opportunity. What did we do or not do. We need to help Ss use errors as information and learn to "fail fast". Thanks @selmekki for sharing this.
Just seven days after Trans Day of Visibility in which Biden affirmed his administration's stance against these kinds of discriminatory policies. What an absolute disgrace.
Absolutely no reason for the Biden admin to do this. It is indefensible and embarrassing.
The admin can still walk this back, and they should. Itβs a disgrace
