Talking points
Both of these reading assignments made me feel a bit frustrated that I was hired to work with students and not really given any guidance. These are great resources that everyone should be equipped with. In my district, the nurses are given a giant binder filled with forms and policies. This is not part of that information. Theres no official training or orientation.
The Trevor Project website was very informative. There is so much terminology that I’ve never heard. I want to be informed and up to date. I want to be an ally for students. I especially like the fact that the site explained that this information is useful to avoid someone having to educate others on their identity.
The RIDE guidance is very informative and well-written. The laws are provided, but additional definitions and explanations are helpful.
The authors are conveying information to ensure students are in a safe and supportive environment. They are providing information to help the readers become stronger supportive allies for transgender or gender nonconforming students.
I agree there should be more training in this terminology and I didnt realize all the laws in Rhode Island for transgender and gender nonconforming students
ReplyDeleteI agree the Trevor Project was very informative. I think is something everyone especially in education should have training in. Nice job.
