The article addresses this common controversy as well. Allie's grandma has a hard time accepting the dissolution of gender stereotypes.

How do you suggest we address more conservative families in order to help create an understanding of gender neutrality?

Think about this and discuss with someone next to you, then please head to backchannelchat.com, enter code "drbr1" and add at least one suggestion (per pair)!
  Once every pair has a suggestion, one person from each pair will read their suggestion(s) to the group, so we may discuss!

Using terms such as "everyone" or "you all", rather than "you guys".

Using terms such as firefighters or chairperson, rather than fireman or chairman.


Like Temple said, don't beat yourself (or your students) up! The important thing is that you're trying. Instead of getting upset when gender neutrality is forgotten, make suggestions on how to neutralize in the future.]]> 2019-01-28 16:59:02 UTC https://padlet.com/amdiiori/genderintheclassroom/wish/325027572 Why gender neutrality? amdiiori https://padlet.com/amdiiori/genderintheclassroom/wish/325037610 I want to emphasize a main point in Tempel's article: it is important to make all students feel safe and comfortable, and some students don't feel comfortable conforming to one of the two gender binaries.]]> 2019-01-28 17:14:43 UTC https://padlet.com/amdiiori/genderintheclassroom/wish/325037610 Not everyone understands amdiiori https://padlet.com/amdiiori/genderintheclassroom/wish/325039499 This clip deals with a school teacher who was transferred after asking students to participate in her gender neutral classroom.]]> 2019-01-28 17:17:50 UTC https://padlet.com/amdiiori/genderintheclassroom/wish/325039499
