1.) GLBTIQ History: Lesson Plans for September
Welcome back to school! A few of years ago, we began offering teachers historical events of note month-by-month along with hero and role model suggestions to enrich your curriculum. The objective is to help you include a little LGBTIQ2 studies in your work EVERY month rather than isolating it in Gay Pride Month (June) or GLBT History Month (October). Here are some ideas for September, as you plan this month's lessons. Please click on the link below to view these lessons.
