A few resources for educators and allies...
Thank you for supporting our LGBTQ+ students! Here are some resources and handouts to better support our students. If you have any questions or have an idea for additional resources, please contact David Maya at [email protected].
GLSEN - Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education NetworkCheck out GLSEN for a variety of resources and educator guides to support LGBTQ+ students and their allies. Several of the events that the GSA at EGHS are national initiatives that GLSEN has sponsored such as Day of Silence and Ally Week. This is also a valuable source of research done about LGBTQ+ students in schools and school climate. We also have some printed materials and Safe Space Kits available in Student Services if you would like to borrow them.
