8th Annual Trans Education Summit

This session, led by an expert from EyesOpenIowa, will dive into the importance of providing LGBTQ-inclusive sex education in Iowa’s schools. Participants will learn key strategies for creating safe, affirming, and comprehensive sex-ed curricula that ensure all students—regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation—feel seen and supported.

The session will also address the impact of SF 496, providing clarification on new guidelines and restrictions for sex education in Iowa. Educators will leave with practical tools to implement inclusive teaching and a deeper understanding of what it means to create a curriculum that supports LGBTQ students. This workshop is ideal for educators looking to ensure their teaching is both inclusive and compliant with evolving state policies.
