NAVIGATING GENDER POLICY LEGISLATION IN ALBERTA: STRATEGIC POLICY DEVELOPMENT SESSION FOR SCHOOL BOARDS

In response to Alberta's evolving legislative landscape regarding gender identity and expression in schools, Ever Active Schools is offering tailored, private learning sessions for individual school boards. These one-on-one sessions are designed to support school authorities in understanding the implications of Bills 26, 27, and 29, while helping ensure alignment with human rights obligations and the promotion of student well-being. Informed by insights and key learnings from our previous policy clinics, which featured leading national experts including Dr. André P. Grace, Dr. Lee Airton, and Abbey Bartel. Drawing from their research, legal expertise, and frontline experience in education and human rights, this session will help school boards center student well-being while upholding their legal and ethical responsibilities.

Delivered either online or in person, these workshops offer school boards the opportunity to engage directly with Ever Active Schools in a confidential and collaborative setting. Our team will guide board representatives through research-informed policy analysis, strategic planning, and practical tools to support inclusive and legally sound decision-making.

Rather than a cohort model, this offering is customized to meet the unique needs, timelines, and questions of each school board. Whether you're looking for a focused briefing or a full-day working session with your leadership team, we are here to support.
