If you have any questions or feedback, contact Dr. Lesher or Mrs. Groller (Title I Reading Specialist).
Parent and Family Engagement Policy
LGBTQ Session
We wanted to let you know that a nationally recognized expert on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender youth issues will be giving Quakertown Community School District educators, parents and community members a free online presentation about LGBTQ students and issues they may face in schools.
If you are interested in this topic, Liz Bradbury, Director of the Training Institute of the Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center in Allentown, can be seen on the Zoom webinar Monday, October 4th, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
This live streaming visual training uses a dynamic and interactive slide presentation that will include current definitions and explanations of essential language that describe and engage the LGBTQ youth population and their families. It details sources of minority stress that contribute to mental and physical health disparities, including COVID19 issues for LGBTQ youth.
The training gives attendees the tools to work more effectively with the LGBTQ population in everyday situations, and it helps faculty understand policies, procedures, and best practices that reduce unequal treatment and that demonstrate a commitment to equality.
There will be time for questions, including an opportunity for any attendee to ask questions “one on one” at the end of the presentation. And each attendee will receive contact information from Bradbury and will be able to contact her any time after the training, with additional questions and concerns.
