How to Use Stories and Numbers as a Tool to Advocate for Supportive Policies at School
This webinar presents the Stories and Numbers Project, a new online tool for accessing resources related to the safety and well-being of LGBTQ youth in Texas schools. The purpose of the webinar is to orient students, parents, educators, and policy-makers to the resources covered on the website, highlighting the evidence on school policies, programs, and practices that are linked to positive adjustment and academic success for LGBTQ students. Additionally, we present ways to institute evidence-based safe school strategies. Attendees come away with action steps for implementing inclusive nondiscrimination policies and LGBTQ-related curricula, supporting Gender-Sexuality Alliances, and accessing professional development resources.
