Mid Atlantic
When the Welcoming Schools film, What Do You Know? Six to twelve year olds talk about gays and lesbians was premiered in Washington DC, we heard from teachers in DC public schools who had been successfully utilizing some of the easy to use tools found on the Welcoming Schools website. Welcoming Schools Associate Director Kisha L. Webster brings extensive experience as an educator and administrator to schools in the Mid-Atlantic looking to utilize the Welcoming Schools approach.

One thing that excites me about Welcoming Schools is…
“…having the opportunity to support schools in creating and maintaining learning environments in which educators are given the necessary tools to combat behaviors that can be disruptive to student learning and to students not developing into their best selves.”
