Navigating Tricky Situations in SOGI Inclusion

We all want to create school communities where students feel safe, included, empowered, and seen – including students of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities (SOGI). But sometimes it’s difficult to identify the path toward that goal. How do we adapt as respectful language and best practices shift? How do we navigate thorny conversations and complex situations? What about pushback? After a quick primer on SOGI terminology, this session will leverage hands-on tools and breakout groups to dig into these questions.
