First Literacy Grant Funded Project
Partner Program: Friends of the Cambridge Community Learning Center

Project Description: Queer and non-binary people, as well as a wide variety of ways of being a family, are completely unrepresented in published ESOL curriculum and textbooks. We/Us/Ours: Inclusive Language and Practices Project’s goal is to strategically engage ESOL teachers and students in staff development and ESOL lessons that more accurately reflect the reality of gender and family diversity. Program participants will develop sample diverse family visual materials, grammar lessons focusing on singular “they”, and multimedia texts that will empower and inspire their staff to have more inclusive teaching practices and prompt learners of English to engage with current language and topics related to queer identity and diverse families.
