Workshops

Understanding Spectrums of Gender and Sexuality

Presenters: Anne Payne, Bela Gligorova, Lindsay Kehl

We will focus on three parts – theoretical framing for a base understanding of what gender and sexuality are, a look at case studies within CEESA schools, and time for individual reflection and take-aways.

The theoretical framing will focus on an interactive unpacking of the key terms informing the spectrum of gender and sexuality; specifically questions like: “what is gender” and “what is sexuality.”

For case studies, we will pull from the rich experiences of CEESA schools and lead an informed discussion. What scenarios have our schools faced and how did they play out?

The “take-aways” will incorporate learning about tools that participants can use in their schools from lesson plans, to online resources, to staff training, and planning/reflecting on how to integrate into their school community.

This session is applicable for counselors, teachers and administrators.
