Advancing Racial, Disability, and Gender Justice

We know that eliminating anti-LGBTQ+ bias and violence in schools today and laying the foundation of respect for all in the future, requires the centering of racial, disability, and gender justice throughout our work. And as an organization, we are early in our journey to “advance racial, gender, and disability justice outcomes in education”. One important tool in our journey is learning to honestly assess where we are growing in these capacities and where we have more work to do. Please use the following questions to honestly assess where your Chapter is on its journey. This assessment isn’t a judgment or a comparison, but a chance to identify where more energy might be invested in the coming year.

As you know, all of our work as a chapter network is based on the important research GLSEN does through the National School Climate Survey. This report consistently identifies four major supports that schools can use to cultivate a safe and supportive environment for all of their students.

Use this opportunity to share updates of your activities over this past year within any of these four supports.

There is no need to do them all if you aren’t actively implementing programs under all supports. Just leave those blank and move to the ones you are active in.
