As we focus on learning environment design and building learning relationships, we must first consider a simple practice that bonds a community together.  Pronouncing the names of our learners correctly.

What’s in a name?  It’s the first gift your parent’s give you when you are born.  It shapes your identity, reminds you of your family heritage, and is a lasting legacy that you matter on this planet. 

As we begin this new school year in the Northern Hemisphere, let us be mindful of the power of a name.  When we engage with our learners, let’s take care in learning each and individual name, because it represents someone’s identity.
