As we focus on learning environment design and building learning relationships, we must first consider a simple practice that bonds a community together. Pronouncing the names of our learners correctly.
What’s in a name? It’s the first gift your parent’s give you when you are born. It shapes your identity, reminds you of your family heritage, and is a lasting legacy that you matter on this planet.
As we begin this new school year in the Northern Hemisphere, let us be mindful of the power of a name. When we engage with our learners, let’s take care in learning each and individual name, because it represents someone’s identity.
