Teachers Are Everything
We call on you to provide all students with a safe, trusting, loving classroom. Never has there been a more significant need for teachers to provide affirming spaces free from transphobia, homophobia, racism, and harm. It has been firmly established that transgender, non-binary, gender nonconforming and two-spirit students face higher rates of bullying, discrimination, and violence in schools. Those on the economic fringes and those stuck at home with abusive and/or non-affirming families are at even higher risk for poor outcomes. We hope our website provides teachers with various resources to make their classrooms a gentle and kind place for transgender, non-binary, two-spirit, and gender fluid (TNBY2S) students. Our founder, Jan Moore, frequently writes about schools and things teachers can do to create welcoming spaces on her blog at: www.jan-moore.com
