Thompson Middle School PRIDE/GSA for co-hosting this event at 98 Ann Dr, Syosset, NY 11791. WHEN is LGBTeach Edcamp? Mark your calendars… March 4, 2023 from approximately 8:30am-2:30pm. WHY LGBTeach Edcamp? Because students, staff, and families depend on us! Students who experience LGBTQ-related discrimination and harassment are at greater risk for absenteeism, lower GPAs, lower self-esteem, higher levels of depression, higher risk of substance abuse, higher rates of suicide, etc. You can read more about the negative impact of LGBTQ-related discrimination and harassment as well as the positive impact of GSAs and inclusive curriculum in GLSEN’s 2021 National School Climate Survey. HOW much does it cost to attend? Nothing! The LGBTeach Edcamp is a free day of learning made possible through the generosity of our sponsors. Breakfast and snacks will be served throughout the day. Please reach out to Elisa Waters at [email protected] for more information about becoming a sponsor or making a donation to this event. We look forward to seeing you on March 4th, 2023! P.S.
