SOGI-Inclusive Resource Guide

 

The SOGI-Inclusive Education Resource Guide concisely shares the best practices of educators who have been actively supporting students of all Sexual Orientations and Gender Identities (SOGI) over the years. While previous resources such as the SOGI Policy Guide focused on ‘what’ to include, this Resource Guide provides more details on ‘how’ to implement and support SOGI-inclusive education efforts.

The resource guide is available for download HERE and explores SOGI-inclusive best practices in:

  1. Policies and Procedures

  2. SOGI Teams and Committees

  3. Professional Development

  4. Student Transitions

  5. Inclusive Facilities

  6. Rainbow Displays

This resource was only possible through the countless hours of planning, sharing of ideas, and calls-to-action from SOGI School and District Leads, Provincial Education Leadership, and community members.
