Leading the conversation En Español

Faculty workshop on gender featured at NYC conference

Two of Gordon's Spanish teachers are featured presenters at today's Northeast Conference on the Teaching of Foreign Languages in Manhattan.

Their presentation, Género Neutro y Lenguaje Inclusivo en Español, asks the questions:

How do we practice gender neutral language in our Spanish classroom? 
How do we create spaces that feel inclusive within a language that is inherently gendered?
What tools do we use to give our students on writing and speaking a gender inclusive language?

It's a workshop they originally created for one of the Middle School's annual teach-in days. These teach-ins, and Gordon's ongoing examination of how gender is discussed in the classroom, are just two ways Gordon is educating modern learners to succeed in a changing world.
