Unsilencing Student’s Languages: Creating and Ecology of Equitable & Powerful Student-Centered Schooling Part 1

Every student’s language is a doorway into identity and connection. Yet too often, our systems unintentionally quiet the very voices we hope to uplift.
In Part One of this two-part series, we’ll explore the research behind subtractive language practices and their real impact on student belonging and achievement. You’ll gain a clearer understanding of the policies and pedagogies that unintentionally harm, and what leaders can do instead to build a learning ecology that affirms, activates, and centers students’ languages and identities.
In this webinar, we’ll discuss:
- How subtractive language practices impact engagement and achievement
- What research shows about transforming these experiences
- Leadership moves that create identity-affirming classrooms
