About TEN

The Trans Educators Network (TEN) was first founded in 2015. It is a grassroots organization built through a framework of mutual aid. TEN seeks to build community among transgender, genderqueer, and/or non-binary identified educators (or anyone who doesn’t fit neatly into prescribed definitions of male/female), primarily those working with PreK-12 populations across the United States and Canada. This includes classroom teachers, administrators, school staff, paraeducators, after school program leaders, teacher educators, and anyone who works with youth or teachers in an educational setting within or outside of PK-12 schools.

Note that TEN is not intended for those working primarily in non-PK-12 related education fields within the context of higher education/universities.
