gender diversity
virtual eventjan. 27 & feb. 10, 2025
6 - 7:30 p.m.join aidan key for a virtual two-part series on gender diversity. please note that you can attend either or both of these events.
The increased societal visibility of transgender children and teens in pre-K-12 schools has placed the topic of gender diversity squarely on the table. School communities – employees, leadership, and parents – are often hard-pressed to understand the needs and experiences of these students and even more challenged to respectfully address the needs, concerns, and fears of others. It is all the more challenging when resources are difficult to find, and as societal volatility ramps up unchecked. How does one discuss aspects of gender diversity in schools in ways that honor and respect all members of a school community. Join author and educator Aidan Key as he touches on the personal, social, legal, political, and educational implications that come with creating more gender-inclusive schools -
