A1: Using a safe space sticker on my laptop has really created that environment. #caedchat

A1: a young lady was having a hard time utilizing restrooms. Since we wanted her to succeed so we opened a very old "closed" rr #caedchat

A1: Being at the elementary level, the topic does not arise as often. The focus has been more about dispelling gender stereotypes. #caedchat

morgetron Feb 26 @ 11:12 PM EST

A formative exp for me was having a S come out to me after grad. In the rural districts where I've always worked, this is common. #caedchat

Yes and that is a serious set back for LGBTQ+ community. They need to be protected just as all citizens do. #caedchat

A6 our SIS now allows me to change a student's preferred name. That was HUGE for several trans kids. #caedchat

A5: but knowing what we do about many states, the GOP is putting more LGBTQ kids at risk. Civil rights > states’ rights #caedchat

A6) Open door policy. Plain and simple. Listen. Sympathize. Do not judge. Help when possible #caedchat

A6: Would provided outside resources be of benefit to LGBTQ Ss? Like The Trevor Project, etc.? #caedchat

KrisciaCabral - Moderator Feb 26 @ 11:45 PM EST

Q7: What resources do you know of or use to support your own learning? To support students and families? #caedchat

How would we feel as Americans if civil rights or women voting were a state issue? We are America we can stand as one on equality #caedchat

KylePine Feb 26 @ 11:42 PM EST

A5) In reality Trump just dismissed the issue from a federal & now it's a state issue #caedchat

They DO help, but many Ss have to seek out such info secretly. Parents may not be on board. #caedchat

A6 changing the preferred name in the SIS means subs get rosters that use the preferred name. So helpful. #caedchat

Nope. Not on this issue. This belongs on the fed level. As do any equal rights issues. #caedchat

Have a great week #caedchat Do good work and love one another

ucdjoe Feb 26 @ 11:57 PM EST
