Creating Safe and Supportive Spaces for LGBT+ Youth | Teaching Channel

As we grow, we learn not everyone experiences the world in the same way, and life can be challenging for people who have been historically marginalized like those in the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, plus (LGBT+) community. In this course, educators will increase their understanding and awareness about strategies to support and champion students who identify as LGBT+. In addition, teachers will expand their knowledge about allyship, create scripts for difficult conversations, discover ways to manage a variety of scenarios, and increase the inclusivity of the learning environment. Explore the lived experiences of LGBT+ community and apply new understanding to ensure all students see themselves represented in the classroom, school, and community.
