Reading your students' names from your class roster for attendance is an extremely VITAL moment that needs to be done RIGHT. To your students, their name carries their IDENTITY, represents their HISTORY, and makes them WHO THEY ARE. In this episode, Rebecca speaks to Bareeq, a fellow educator who shares her personal experience with being in school and living with a "difficult" name to pronounce. Bareeq provides an insider's perspective on how it feels and how our students are affected when their name is consistently mispronounced. This raw conversation will provide you with actions to AVOID and more importantly, TIPS on how to get this moment right.
