LGBTQ+ Educator Collaborative Affinity Group

We invite all educators who identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community to join us for an affinity group meeting. We will create a brave space where we celebrate imperfection, "amplify voices that have to fight to be heard elsewhere" (Beth Strano, untitled poem) and where educators can connect, collaborate, and support each other as we share stories, celebrate each others' wins, and dream for a future of liberatory and inclusive schools. We will introduce a mentorship program for newer LGBTQIA+ educators and talk about future plans for training and support for sites and districts.

The affinity group will meet on the following dates: 10/19/23, 12/7/23, 1/25/24, 3/28/24, and 5/16/24. You may register for any or all dates at the link below.

The first 30 minutes of each meeting will be unstructured networking time; join us as your schedule allows during that time frame. The full group check-in begins at 4 p.m.
