When we use inclusive language and visual representations, we send a message to students that they are welcome and valued in our classroom. This means using gender-neutral language, avoiding stereotypes, and representing a diversity of people in our examples and illustrations.

This is necessary in order to become aware of the ways in which they can affect our teaching and curriculum development. Once we've reflected on our experiences and assumptions, and their role in the formation of implicit bias, we can then work to prevent them from manifesting in the classroom.

Don't just talk about equity and access in theory. Help teachers see how they can apply these concepts in their own classrooms. Provide them with examples of how other teachers have made their classrooms more equitable and accessible.
