To support all students,
present & future,
we must adapt existing biology teaching
to grow a gender-inclusive curriculum.
About Our Mission
Our students will face decisions about health, science, and medicine that we can hardly imagine. Gender and sexuality diversity are more visible than ever, and our science curriculum must adapt if it is to serve our students and prepare them for the future.
Biology teachers have rich opportunities to include gender and sexuality diversity in our teaching. This website offers ready-to-use lessons, a reflection framework for adapting curriculum, and professional development materials.
These questions are new to everyone.
Educators, parents, guardians, and students are asking questions that society is still struggling to answer. Students anywhere on the gender spectrum directly feel the effects of how we answer and what we do not answer.
How can we affirm our transgender and intersex students when we talk about X and Y chromosomes?
How will students with same-sex parents interpret and internalize our lessons about meiosis and sexual reproduction?
How do all gender identities and sexual orientations fit into our understanding of science, development, and evolution?
Can we create safe spaces of scientific exploration and protect trans youth in schools?
How can we create a rigorous, NGSS-informed curriculum that gives students tools for understanding their world?
This website aims to curate resources and connect science educators, students, learners of all types, parents, guardians, and everyone involved in supporting and learning to grow a more inclusive biology curriculum.
