Educational Change, Policy, and Cultural Impacts on Transgender Classroom Experiences

This session will use storytelling from personal experience to provide examples of transgender experiences in the classroom which were helpful, and others which were harmful. We will begin with a basic overview of important definitions and language suggestions to foster inclusive classrooms for gender diverse folks. Next we will share a series of stories of our experiences, as students, as educators, and as community members. Each story aims to provide insight into the experience of living and learning in the world as queer and gender diverse folks. We will close with an opportunity for discussion and questions to expand everyone's wealth of knowledge and share personal reflections to the information presented.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Distinguish basic language, including gender identity, gender expression, sex, and pronouns.
  • Learn through stories how small actions can have a big impact on fostering gender inclusive classrooms and spaces.
  • Reflect on personal takeaways from stories told.
