Gender, Gender Identity, and Sexual Orientation

Rights, Respect, Responsibility is designed to be inclusive of all genders, gender identities, gender expressions and sexual orientations.

Classroom Management and Using Ground Rules with this Curriculum

Establishing ground rules, which are shared guidelines about how everyone – teachers and students – will interact during lessons, is an important step in creating a sense of trust, support, and safety among students and teachers.

Teachers are encouraged to work actively against stereotyped assumptions of how their students should behave based on gender. By offering students the widest possible opportunities for self-expression, teachers can help all students develop more complex and nuanced ways of understanding gender.
