LGBTQ Inclusive Education Resources for PreK–12
This collection brings together free LGBTQ resources for educators across every grade level, from PreK read-alouds to high school civil rights lessons. Whether you are preparing for Pride Month in June, recognizing LGBTQ History Month in October, or building inclusive practices into everyday instruction, these materials support every student's right to feel seen, valued, and respected in the classroom.
Pride Month is a moment to go beyond symbols. These resources give educators the tools to bring LGBTQ history, identity, and advocacy into the curriculum in meaningful, age-appropriate ways, all year long.

Teaching LGBTQ Topics
For younger students, resources focus on family diversity, kindness, and gender expression through picture books and guided activities.

Educators will also find tools for starting and sustaining Gender-Sexuality Alliances (GSAs) and practical guidance for creating classrooms where all students belong.
