As we begin Pride Month, listen to this edWeb podcast to gain ideas and best practices and strategies to educate, inspire, and lead with an LGBTQ+ lens as part of your classroom, organization, or district belonging and equity work. Our coalition needs to remain strong as educators across the country work to find ways to be inclusive and supportive, especially when states and lawmakers are making it harder and harder to do so in classrooms and across education systems.

We reflect on the tragedy of the Pulse nightclub and the trauma that ensued as 49 lives were taken in the second-largest attack on the United States after 9/11. We remember those angels as we remind ourselves of the importance of our LGBTQ+ youth, who need our constant support, trust, and partnership in this world—today and always. The discussion centers on creating opportunities for educators, youth, and families to access resources and to be aware of advocacy and support groups on campuses.

This edWeb podcast is of interest to PreK-12 teachers, librarians, school and district leaders, and education solution providers.
