Resources
Our Core Collective has worked together to develop tipsheets on some of our most frequently asked questions:
I am transitioning and/or coming out at work. Do you have advice on self-advocacy as a trans educator?
I’m a trans educator and I’d like to connect in-person with others in my area. How can I go about starting a local mutual aid group?
I am a school administrator, union representative, or district leader. How can I support trans educators where I work?
I am a classroom teacher, librarian, or parent/caregiver. What should I look for in trans-affirming children’s literature? Do you recommend any particular books?
If you can’t find what you are looking for here, we encourage you to check out the work of some of these organizations:
