Introduction


Pronouns and Names

Using correct names and pronouns (e.g. “she/her”) is important to setting a tone of respect. Learning these is hard to do quickly, so we recommend displaying them prominently during the course.

In an online course, give everyone a moment to update their display name to reflect how they would like to be addressed.

Note that pronouns are personal and some participants might prefer not to share them. Do not force people to share their pronouns.



Today’s Instructors

To begin class, each instructor should give a brief introduction of themselves.

(For some guidelines on introducing yourself, see the Workshop Introductions section of the Instructor Training curriculum).
