ReFraming the Lens of History
We help teachers bring LGBT voices into the social studies to ensure equitable classrooms where ALL students can reach their full potential to learn and achieve.
Why LGBT-inclusive Curriculum Is Important
EQUITY. For LGBT youth, learning the stories and history of LGBT people demonstrates that they are not alone, and that others like themselves have played a vital role in our nation and world.
INCLUSION. For non-LGBT identifying youth, learning a more accurate and inclusive history develops an appreciation of human diversity – which in turn creates safer, healthier schools.
IMPACT. Rising generations of safer, healthier, better performing students who participate in our world with deeper understanding and greater sophistication.
