Special guest Nawal Qarooni discuss the importance of rethinking language in education and the impact it has on students and families. They emphasize the need for educators to be mindful of the labels and categories they use to describe students and to seek feedback from trusted colleagues to ensure their language is inclusive and supportive. They also explore the role of self-work in understanding how our own self-conception and the words we use impact ourselves and others. Additionally, they discuss the need to expand the definition of literacy to include various forms of communication and expression, and the importance of play and experimentation in the writing process.
