UPCOMING GENDER-INCLUSIVE WEBINAR
Thursday, March 31, 2022
Currently, gender-inclusive and gender-neutral language is being discussed by teachers K-16+ and others. Avant Assessment and the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese (AATSP) have assembled a dynamic panel of educators for a webinar seeking to contribute to the discussion of attitudes, experiences, and strategies towards gender-inclusive language in the US classrooms and beyond.
Multiple languages will be represented including French, German, Portuguese, Polish, Russian, and Spanish. Language educators from any language are invited to attend.
Join us April 6, 2022
6-7 PM EDT via Zoom
The panelists will explore the following questions and more:
What does gender-inclusive language in the classroom look like?
How are attitudes and strategies towards gender-neutral language voiced in different languages?
What groups or individuals engage in the debate (e.g., parents, educators, administrators), and what are their views and attitudes?
Are there strategies for navigating different varieties of gender-fair language?
What kinds of tools need to be developed for teachers to support gender-inclusive language in the classroom?
