Fostering Student Belonging through Inclusive Language and Strategies In-Person
Understand how language shapes student belonging, and explore resources and identify practices that center inclusive language in your teaching practice in this workshop. The workshop will cover topics such as avoiding microaggressive language, using person-centered language, promoting gender and cultural sensitivity, and fostering a sense of belonging for students from diverse backgrounds. By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- List examples of commonly used words and expressions language that can be improved to be more inclusive and make suggestions.
- Explain how language can drive behaviors and perceptions (in teaching and learning environments).
- Reflect on what prior experiences are creating/affirming your sense of belonging. Connect how language, identity, and bias impact belonging.
