Trans Teachers Talk Back

Mar 4, 2025

2:30pm – 3:30pm CT

Transgender educators are leading the charge for LGBTQ+ inclusion in schools! Join us for a powerful conversation that celebrates transgender teachers and explores the vital role they play in shaping the future of education. Panelists will share their experiences from across educational settings and offer guidance on what can be done to create more welcoming environments for transgender and gender-nonconforming (TGNC) staff. Learn how to support and protect TGNC staff in various stages of the educator pipeline and recognize their valuable contributions to our school communities.
