Teacher Training Session
Event description
Interested in knowing how to create a more inclusive environment for LGBTIQA+ students and staff at your school?
Youth Pride Network is hosting a free information session for WA based high school teachers and staff wanting to better support LGBTIQA+ students.
Our recently released "State Of Play Report II: LGBTIQA+ Young People's Experiences of High School" illustrates how the state's education system is failing to ensure the safety and wellbeing of LGBTIQA+ students. This session will be an opportunity for teachers and school staff to learn more about the importance of building and maintaining an inclusive schooling environment, access additional resources and information, and connect with other allies and LGBTIQA+ staff and teachers.
Refreshments and light snacks will be provided. Places are limited, so please make sure to register!
YPN's State of Play II report and school resources can be viewed through our website at www.youthpridenetwork.net
