USC Rossier School of Education has recently published a resource titled Students & Gender Identity: A Toolkit for Schools to help create and develop inclusive spaces for transgender and gender non-conforming communities. The toolkit currently includes the following resources:
- "How to Communicate with Parents and Staff": FAQs that educators may receive from parents or school staff about the topic of gender identity, as well as strategies on how to shape these conversations.
- "How to Create Inclusive Classrooms": Action steps to support educators in creating a welcoming and inclusive environment.
- "23 Terms Educators Should Know": Glossary of commonly used terms to describe aspects of gender identity and expression.
