For this blog post I have decide to do quotes, I feel this will better help the reader understand the Gender/Transgender Rules for the education system.
The first quote I chose was "Foster an educational environment that is safe and free from discrimination for all students, regardless of sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression". I feel like this was a good quote to choose because you want the children in your environment to feel like it is a safe space to express how and who they feel they are. I also feel that when students feel more comfortable in a classroom, they are able to learn better.
The second quote I chose was "In order to further a safe and supportive school environment for all students, schools should incorporate education and training about transgender and gender non-conforming students into their anti-bullying curriculum, health education curriculum, student leadership trainings, and staff professional development." We want our students to not only be heard, but to at the same time understand fully what they are being heard about. I think programs like this would be great for the students who want to learn more about genders. As well as it being talked about (but not in a forceful way) at the same time as bullying being talked about.
The last quote I chose was "Superintendents and principals should review existing policies, handbooks, and other written materials to ensure that they reflect the inclusion of gender identity/expression in the anti- discrimination policy statements as appropriate. Schools should inform all members of the school community, including school personnel, students, and families, about federal and state law concerning transgender and gender non-conforming youth along with implications for school policy and practice." All employees in the school should be fully informed of all important details of gender identity in an educational environment. As a school environment, you want to make sure every student feels involved.
