Sexual Orientation, Gender and Identity & Expression (SOGIE)

Please sign-up here!

This training has been developed to help us all better support our LGBTQ+ youth and colleagues here at FUHSD.

We will focus on:

1. Defining SOGIE (Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Expression) in a comprehensible way - including pronoun usage -  facilitating us becoming  familiar with various terms and concepts that enable us to better serve and include our LGBTQ+ community members

2. Recognizing the challenges youth who identify as LGBTQ+ often face in our school system and community, and how to best support them

3. How to respond when our students come out

4. Actions we can take to advocate and create safer spaces for our LGBTQ+ youth and colleagues at FUHSD

5. Accessing  LGBTQ+ policies, practices and forms at FUHSD

Join us to learn more about how to show allyship, affirmation and understanding and leave with tools and resources to better support our students. We will offer opportunities to self-reflect, ask the questions you really want to know the answers to but don’t know who to ask, and give you a chance to practice using the vocabulary and skills in a non-judgmental space. 

This one half-day PD will be offered twice next year. The dates are:

Option 1: October 23rd, 8:30-12:30 in PLC 102 at the district office

OR

Option 2: January 22nd, 8:30-12:30 in PLC 102 at the district office
