They feel less careful with their expressions, feel more at home, and learn a variety of new tools for communiation.

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. ]]> 2021-08-12 14:04:20 UTC https://padlet.com/avidrdl/gqshwm97v4yrky0j/wish/1676859706 https://padlet.com/avidrdl/gqshwm97v4yrky0j/wish/1676859722 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.

Not only is our focus on creating authentic speech but we are also cognizant of how language could negatively affect others.

2. Monitor my own language and model how language can be utilized to be more inclusive as much as I can.  That which you demonstrate becomes accepted expectations.

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. https://padlet.com/avidrdl/gqshwm97v4yrky0j/wish/1676861666 2021-08-12 14:05:31 UTC https://padlet.com/avidrdl/gqshwm97v4yrky0j/wish/1676861666 Academic language/college vocabulary kellymccabe https://padlet.com/avidrdl/gqshwm97v4yrky0j/wish/1676862220 Some students lack the correct academic language or college and career vocabulary and may be left out of the college planning process without being explicitly taught about it.
