Queer centered curriculum in all classes.
Issue: Many queer people at our school don't feel respected by their peers in our community. This is causing them to feel shut out from the rest of the students and dislike school, creating barriers to their learning potential.
In Action: Creation of a reference tool that advises teachers on how they center queer voices in any class. Work directly with teachers during PLC days to review and revise curriculum to center queer voice.
