Pride Month resource kit
You play a key role in shaping students’ experiences at school, and it’s important that you feel equipped to create affirming school spaces and build supportive relationships with 2S/LGBTQIA+ students. Use the resources below to both support your own learning and to explore opportunities to better connect with and support 2S/LGBTQIA+ students. Consider engaging with these resources not only during Pride month, but throughout the year as well.
Know that your place and space in this work is impactful and meaningful, to students and your school community as a whole. Thank you!
