As a teacher of a gendered language<\/a>, one of the urgencies in my classroom this year is creating space for gender-inclusive language. My students are being more open than ever before with their identities, and one of my biggest fears is that they will sit in my classroom, look at the French language, and then decide the language does not include them. To that end, I have become a student myself, learning as much as I can about gender-inclusive language, so my students feel safe and welcome in my classroom. I am very early on in this journey, and here is where I\u2019ve begun.<\/p>\n

Classroom Signs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Firstly, I bought this sticker<\/a> for my laptop from Classroom Yogi. My favourite moment with this sticker so far has been when one student asked to take a picture of it because she and her dad are trying to learn as many different LGBTQ+ flags as possible. \ud83d\udc95<\/p>\n

Next, I finally got to have a classroom again (yeah!), and these are the new posters I was excited to put up. My students have enjoyed learning how to use the gender-neutral pronoun iel in their work.<\/p>\n

LGBTQ+ Posters<\/a> ($3 on TPT)<\/p>\n

For the first time ever, my French classroom @montcrest<\/a> will have posters to show how to use non-binary pronouns, as well as posters in support of LGBTQ2+ students and Black students.<\/p>\n

These are from @lasenorasara<\/a>, @fleavecmmed<\/a>, and Oui, Madame Wee.#fslchat<\/a> #cohort21<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/ZNQZiIQjbV<\/a><\/p>\n
