These resources were developed for use by CLIC Region Leads as part of the Sacramento County Office of Education Community of Practice about implementing the new History Social Science Framework. All are welcome to use these resources to guide educators in ways to implement the teaching of LGBT history based on the California State History Social Science Framework. The document, “Teaching LGBT History: An Educator’s Guide ” is a good place to begin your learning. In addition, you can find lesson plans and other resources from Our Family Coalition / LGBTQHistory.org and from ONE Archives Foundation.
Complete this form to keep connected with others about creating inclusive spaces for LGBT students and teaching LGBT History sharing opportunities.
