Trans Children in Today’s Schools: A Time of Upheaval with Aidan Key
The increased societal visibility of transgender children and teens in pre-K-12 schools has placed the topic of gender diversity squarely on the table. School communities – employees, leadership, and caregivers – are often hard-pressed to understand the needs and experiences of these students and even more challenged to respectfully address the needs, concerns, and fears of others. It is all the more challenging when resources are difficult to find, and as societal volatility ramps up unchecked. How does one discuss aspects of gender diversity in schools in ways that honor and respect all members of a school community. Join author and educator Aidan Key as he touches on the personal, social, legal, political, educational, and religious implications that come with creating more gender-inclusive schools.
