What?
The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network of
Boston seeks to bring together teachers of all grade levels from
early childhood through college, students, administrators, parents,
counselors, school staff, and community members to create schools and
communities that are truly inclusive and safe for gay, lesbian, bisexual,
transgender, and questioning youth and adults. Many of our workshops
this year will focus on helping participants find the words, the
curriculum, the ideas, and the means to create meaningful changes. Our
goal is to provide participants with information and tools that they
can bring back to their schools to ensure that each member of their
school community feels valued, respected, and free from fears as they
pursue their educational goals.
