The First Amendment protects the rights of all students to participate in religious expression or choose not to do so. Understanding and being responsive to the religious accommodations requests of students is not only constitutionally required but also creates inclusive learning environments necessary for student success. In this webinar, you will learn about the experiences of students and educators who work to support students of all religious, secular, and spiritual backgrounds in showing up in school as their full selves, and the positive impact doing so has had on their learning environments. The panel will also answer frequently asked questions about what religious freedom protections the U.S. Constitution guarantees to all students. We will conclude the webinar by addressing questions posed by the audience.
