Supporting LGBTQ+ Students in the Classroom and Online


Today, teachers' support of LGBTQ+ students is essential for a safe, equitable and, inclusive learning environment. While attitudes have shifted, growing up in the digital world brings a host of new complexities to the mix. Our article Supporting LGBTQ+ Students in the Classroom and Online is a practical resource for helping all students navigate those complexities. In it, we offer ways to approach some key digital citizenship lessons with LGBTQ+ kids in mind, as well as links to valuable resources from trusted organizations like the Trevor Project, It Gets Better, and others.
