A Queer Endeavor’s annual Educator Institute for Equity and Justice in Education (EIEJ) is a 2-day professional learning experience aimed to support K-12 educators and youth-serving adults to learn and enact equity and justice-focused practices. Sessions will focus on anti-racism, abolitionist teaching, gender and sexual diversity, bi/multilingualism, equity in rural communities, supporting first-generation and undocumented students, critical dis/ability studies, trauma, and healing-- among others and their intersections.

About A Queer Endeavor |
![]() Our goal is to support intersectional effort-building in education, promote solidarity across justice-oriented movements and identities, and practice engaged scholarship in the service of social change. While grounded in anti-oppressive theories, the Institute is practice-focused and is “by educator, for educator”: presenters and facilitators will have experience working directly with youth and/or with pre- and in-service teachers.

![]() Housed in the CU-Boulder School of Education, A Queer Endeavor is a nationally recognized center for gender and sexual diversity in education. Our work supports teachers and school communities to organize safer, more humanizing learning environments for LGBTQ+ youth, families, and staff. Our work made possible through a partnership between the School of Education at the University of Colorado Boulder and the support of the Twisted Foundation.
