@DrPorcher @chrisemdin I loved hearing about new ways to incorporate this in my future classroom,and make sure my students are aware of Hip Hop Ed, and its importance! These ideas are so important,this definetly helped present new ways to disccus these ideas in the classroom.#hiphoped #blackgazepodcast

@Abby78574105 @DrPorcher @ProfeAustin This is so important, and an experience so many students lack because teachers only focus on mainstream English. Many students are unaware of the struggles some of their peers face having to learn mainstream English at school when they speak differently at home #teacheredumatters

[Julia Goldstein @juliagoldsteinn]

@DrPorcher I grew up learning mainstream English, so this is what I am most comfortable with, but in order to be the best possible teacher for all of my students, I need to become more educated on other forms of language and grammar. #teacheredumatters (2)

[Julia Goldstein @juliagoldsteinn]

@DrPorcher One way I can enact linguistic justice in my personal language and grammar usage is to learn more about other grammar and languages. #teacheredumatters (1)

[Julia Goldstein @juliagoldsteinn]

@DrPorcher @aprilbakerbell I think we can look at grading essays in an inclusive way by not having a section of the rubric called "grammar." Instead of jumping to correct a student's paper who did not use mainstream English, we can honor and value their own language #teacheredumatters

[Julia Goldstein @juliagoldsteinn]

@DrPorcher @aprilbakerbell Teachers can learn about other grammars and languages through books written by authors who speak in different types of languages. They could also take experiences from their personal lives and incorporate it into their lessons! #teacheredumatters

[Julia Goldstein @juliagoldsteinn]

@swingle_sydney @DrPorcher @aprilbakerbell I agree, this is so important! We want to create a classroom where students are comfortable talking in their mother tongue, the students are respectful of one another #teacheredumatters

[Julia Goldstein @juliagoldsteinn]

@DrPorcher @aprilbakerbell Another form of linguistic justice is reading stories written by Black authors or about families of other races, so students can see and read firsthand about other forms of language #teacheredumatters (4)

[Julia Goldstein @juliagoldsteinn]

@DrPorcher @aprilbakerbell Another example is not only teaching mainstream English, but also other forms of language that may be most popular in that specific class, to show that there is more than just mainstream English, and other forms of language are accepted. #teacheredumatters (3)

[Julia Goldstein @juliagoldsteinn]

@DrPorcher @aprilbakerbell An example of this would not be marking a student’s essay as wrong if they write in a form of language that is not considered mainstream English. #teacheredumatters (2)

[Julia Goldstein @juliagoldsteinn]

@DrPorcher @aprilbakerbell In a grammar class, linguistic justice would look like a class where any form of grammar and language is accepted. Students are not corrected if they are not speaking mainstream English, and they are encouraged to speak however is comfortable to them. #teacheredumatters (1)

[Julia Goldstein @juliagoldsteinn]

@LaurenAck1 @DrPorcher @aprilbakerbell It is such a sad reality that students are brought up with the belief that speaking in any other form of English that is not mainstream is considered wrong. We need to end this belief and teach students that all language is accepted #teacheredumatters

[Julia Goldstein @juliagoldsteinn]

@SarahShap19 @LichtenAlexis @DrPorcher @aprilbakerbell I agree! If we starting teaching from a young age that all languages are accepted, and appreciated, everyone would feel equal, and not have one language seem superior to another #teacheredumatters

[Julia Goldstein @juliagoldsteinn]

@DrPorcher @aprilbakerbell Many students are taught in school that speaking mainstream English is the only correct way to speak, which is not true. As future educators we need to open the door which allows for students to speak however is most comfortable for them #teacheredumatters

[Julia Goldstein @juliagoldsteinn]

@DrPorcher @aprilbakerbell This quote is a perfect example of how teaching Mainstream English can be viewed as linguistic violence because it gives off the idea that one form of language is superior than the other, when in fact they are just different. #teacheredumatters (4)

[Julia Goldstein @juliagoldsteinn]

@DrPorcher @aprilbakerbell In Linguistic Justice, it says, “Many of the students drawing, comments, perspectives reinscribe a linguistic and racial hierarchy that positions Black Langage and blackness as inferior and White Mainstream English and whiteness as superior” (47). #teacheredumatters (3)

[Julia Goldstein @juliagoldsteinn]

@DrPorcher @aprilbakerbell By teaching mainstream english, people are essentially just feeding into the racism we still see in our world today because it creates the idea that mainstream english is superior, and speaking in any other way is wrong. #teacheredumatters (2)

[Julia Goldstein @juliagoldsteinn]

@DrPorcher @aprilbakerbell Teaching mainstream English could be viewed this way because it does not allow all students to express themselves. It is a form of linguistic violence because it puts emphasis on the belief that there is only one way to speak, and anything else is wrong. #teacheredumatters (1)
