Classroom bullying focus of Stafford teacher training

High school teachers received a full day of training on LGBT+ Equity and Inclusion at North Stafford.

  • “Stafford County has a focus on equity and a holistic learning environment where all students can thrive,” Director of Equity and Accountability Roxana McCarthy said.
  • Middle school and elementary school teachers received a similar training on Nov. 5.

The training was designed to help teachers understand LGBT students, and be better equipped to address bullying problems.

  • The school division has not reported an uptick in cases of bullying.
  • The day was split into two parts: LGBT+ Equity and Mental Health Awareness.

The purpose of the LGBT+ Equity presentation was to define basic terminology to create a common language for teachers to help them work with LGBT+ students.
