Through the self-paced course, you learned how to channel your passion for teaching through exploring ways to make LGBTQ+ sex education inclusive and affirming. You know how to take the attention, awareness, and the innate ability to make all youth feel welcome. Now you’ll build on that foundation.

I’m on Board

Excellent, welcome to the next step in reframing the sex education conversation for all students, empowering and supporting them so they see themselves reflected in the lessons and discussions. Here’s where you’ll build the skills to maintain inclusive and affirming language and learning environments.

Now the Hard Work

You’ve got this. As we have through every step of this program, we’ll equip you to work with the most inquisitive minds. In this five-session, 10-hour virtual instructor-led training, we’ll dig deeper into theories, strategies, and skills as we explore teaching and leading discussions through an LGBTQ+ inclusive and affirming lens.
