LGBTQ and Gender Inclusive Classrooms: Bias and Bullying Prevention
In this workshop we will examine structural, relational and instructional ways to build LGBTQ and gender inclusive classrooms and schools. We will identify ways in which these strategies complement current social-emotional (SEL) and positive behavioral support (PBIS) programs. We will understand bias, bullying and social inclusion in the context of California school laws and policies.
In Tier One, PBIS asks schools to establish School-wide positive behavior expectations, such as Respect, Responsibility and being Ready to Learn. This workshop examines each of these expectations, their relationship to bias and bullying, and supporting LGBTQ and gender inclusion at schools.

Three Perspectives of Crisis: Students Parents and You
Dealing with loss affects every aspect of a child’s life. Often, families do not talk to each other about death thus making it difficult for children to process the death. Participating in groups designed to address death, provides a platform for children to express their thought, and beliefs regarding death. It is necessary to address key components of grief in an age appropriate manner in an effort to facilitate the development of healthy coping skills. The facilitation of a grief group provides a safe environment for children to come together and gain the necessary tools to progress through the grieving process.
