Iowa Safe Schools is proud to announce a partnership with the Iowa State Education Association (ISEA) to offer our license renewal course for educators - Making Your Classroom Safe for LGBTQ Youth across the state this summer.
All students deserve a safe and supportive place to learn including those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or are questioning (LGBTQ) their identity. Studies continue to show that LGBTQ youth are at higher risk than their peers for bullying, homelessness, and increased suicide risk due to isolation and discrimination in schools and communities. This 15 hour long license renewal course will provide educators key information in supporting LGBTQ youth and LGBTQ families in their schools.
Specific topics to be covered include LGBTQ terminology, statistics, research-based interventions/supports, and an indepth discussion on hate and the movement for social justice. Through the use of interactive activities, panel discussions, and videos, this course will leave participants better prepared to meet the needs of these youth and LGBTQ families.
