1. The language we use about students helps shape their identities.

2. The language students themselves use indicates their knowledge, their comfort, and their place in the classroom. Giving different options for communicating gives different options for success.

Language directly impacts my students' success.  Oftentimes when I tell them they are important, that I know they will be successful, and I care, it is one of the first times a teacher has explicitly said something like it to them.

Language plays a direct impact in my Spanish classroom. Not only is our focus on creating authentic speech but we are also cognizant of how language could negatively affect others.

language gives a sense of community - setting the tone with a common language is important to feel connected. What we say matters. When listening to the content of what students say it is important to hear the message not necessarily the how

Language has a powerful impact on student success in the classroom.  As the person with power, the teacher's language can frame how everyone else views things.  When the teacher says things like "his body really needs to move a lot" instead of "he doesn't sit still or listen" that helps the other students see that student in a positive light.  A teacher can say "she's still working on her reading skills" and it helps the other students see that student as an ongoing learner.

Language can be used to help students grasps concepts, but can also hinder them from grasping it.
