LGBTQ Inclusive Education Resources for PreK–12
This collection brings together free LGBTQ lesson plans, classroom activities and professional learning resources for educators from prekindergarten through grade 12. You’ll find age-appropriate materials for teaching LGBTQ history, exploring identity and family diversity, supporting inclusive classrooms and recognizing both LGBTQ History Month in October and Pride Month in June.
LGBTQ-inclusive education gives students opportunities to learn about people, events and experiences that are part of our shared history and communities. These resources help educators approach those topics thoughtfully, with materials designed for different ages and classroom needs.
What You’ll Find in this Collection
- Elementary lessons and read-alouds exploring family diversity, kindness, names, pronouns and gender expression.
- Middle and high school LGBTQ history resources covering civil rights, the Stonewall Riots and influential LGBTQ figures.
- Pride Month and LGBTQ History Month resources for bringing history, identity and advocacy into classroom learning.
- Professional learning and educator tools focused on inclusive classroom practices, student advocacy, Gender-Sexuality Alliances (GSAs) and student well-being.
Teaching LGBTQ History and Inclusion Throughout the Year
October is LGBTQ History Month, making it a timely opportunity to help students learn about LGBTQ people, movements and milestones that have shaped U.S. history and culture. Educators can choose a read-aloud or guided activity for younger students, explore civil rights history with middle and high school students or use professional learning resources to strengthen inclusive practices.
These materials can also support Pride Month instruction in June and year-round learning. Start with a resource that fits your students and current curriculum, then build from there as you create opportunities for students to learn about history, identity, respect and belonging.
