Description
Understand how language shapes student belonging, and explore resources and identify practices that center inclusive language in your teaching practice in this two-part workshop. Participants will engage in discussions, co-creation of a vocabulary related to DEIJ, a case study, and activities that highlight the impact of both inclusive and non-inclusive language on students. 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.
- Propose actions for using your power, privilege and agency to support inclusive language.
This workshop is part of CIRTL’s fall programming on evidence-based teaching fundamentals.
