Gender Inclusive Language with Children: What, Why, and How

Gender Inclusive Language with Children: What, Why, and How

In this introductory course, participants will operationalize a definition of gender inclusive language and the incredible need for practitioners to adopt and teach gender inclusive language with children. Using age-relevant strategies and pedagogy rooted in LGBTQ inclusive research, participants will learn key strategies (that are also fun!) for encouraging gender inclusive language with children to create safer spaces for our youth.
