An Intro Discourse on Gender for Educators with Kattoris Bang!A basic/introductory workshop on gender specifically for teachers and educators wanting to provide safer space in their classrooms for trans and gender non conforming students. In this moment where our State legislature continues to wage war against our trans and queer youth both on the field and in the classroom, Kattoris Bang provides participants with vital knowledge and skills that better prepares educators to address various forms of gender based harm and violence against trans and gender non comforming youth in their classrooms. Participants will practice and strategize in real time responsible and just ways of addressing gender based harm and violence that may come up in the classroom, dance floor and/or the athletic field. As we work towards creating a reality where trans and gender non conforming youth are given the space and opportunity to thrive, we must equip ourselves with the necessary tools to hold gender inclusive classrooms and programming. Are you confused about pronouns? Not sure how to support the trans and gender non conforming students in your classroom? Then we have just the workshop for you! Join Nathalie Nia Faulk and indee mitchell of Kattoris Bang! for an Intro Discourse on Gender for Educators. In this 2-hour introductory session participants will learn: - Basic terminology around gender and sexuality- A brief history of how we understand gender today in the United States/Western context- Best practices for creating and holding spaces that include trans and gender non-conforming students, co-workers and community members- Possible disruptions and follow up steps to gender based harm that could be happening in your spaces/classes.
