Stories from Educators

MyGSA.ca, Canada’s LGBTQ Safer Schools website, is expanding its section for Educators! We’re adding new lessons, books, movies, policy and more to help you integrate LGBTQ inclusive learning into your classrooms. And we need your help! We’re looking for Educators to share their stories to be published online. Tell us about your successes in bringing inclusive resources into your classroom. Tell us about your challenges. Tell us about forming your school’s GSA or safer space club. Tell us about how you came out the first time at school, and how you’ve come out since. Tell us how you became an ally.

Sharing your story is easy. Simply write your story and send it in an attachment to mygsa@egale.ca with the subject line “Stories From Educators.” You’re welcome to attach a photo if you’d like to share one. Otherwise we’ll use a stock image to accompany your story.

1) If selected, your story will be shared on the MyGSA.ca website. This means it will be online, which means it will exist in the internet, possibly forever. Please be aware of this before submitting your story.
a. You’re welcome to not include names, or use pseudonyms if you need to.
