October is LGBTQ History Month. This edition of The Moment includes our brand-new guide to serving LGBTQ students—complete with tips for bringing LGBTQ history into your curriculum. We're also proud to debut our new podcast Queer America (which features the stories of queer life we should have learned in school) and to honor Matthew Shepard, who died 20 years ago this week.

Indigenous Peoples Day—still observed as Columbus Day in most states—is just a few days away. Use it as an opportunity to set the record straight about Native history and the experiences of Native people today. This edition of The Moment features resources to help you do it.

Digital literacy is a set of critical skills students need to effectively evaluate information online and to keep themselves safe and their data secure. This edition of The Moment offers student-friendly videos, lessons for all grade levels and professional development for educators who want to hone their own digital literacy skills. 

Allegations of sexual assault and harassment have dominated the news this week. This edition of The Moment offers resources that can guide you through tough but necessary classroom conversations about consent and responsibility.

September 25 is National Voter Registration Day! We celebrate all educators who help students identify as voters and who encourage eligible voters in their communities to get to the polls. This edition of The Moment pulls together some of our favorite Voting and Voices resources—including Democracy Class, a set of brand-new, classroom-ready lesson plans from TT and Rock the Vote.
