- Diversity At the onset of my presentation, norms for the presentation will be presented. These are norms are derived from NAIS's norms for the People of Color Conference (PoCC). I use these norms with my students, and they allow for a safe and inclusive space. I will be sure to state my pronouns (she/her/hers/ella) and that I identify as Black American, cis-gender female. I will also acknowledge that which indigenous tribe originally inhabited that land where the presentation is taking place. As a world language instructor, one of my ongoing goals is to include authentic resources from a variety of target-language cultures. Thus, resources shared in the presentation will reflect this goal. Such resources will include, but will not be limited to, videos, sharing student products, online resources such as newspapers, brochures, and an explanation for the practices in my classroom that support our school's diversity statement. These tools include diversity signage in the target language, teaching students gender nonconforming language, a survey that participants may use in their own classrooms, and a sharing of how I audited and redesigned a course to be more attuned to what voices my students were encountering during the class. In full transparency, I make it a habit to build my curriculum by using Rosetta Lee's framework. Over the years, these practices have become second-nature to what I do, and I am very grateful the support my school has provided in my development in this area.
