What are our principles?
As Teachers, Scholars, and Co-Learners, We:
Believe we are ALL multilingual and (trans)language in a variety of modes, modalities, signs, named and unnamed languages, Black Englishes, world Englishes, dialects, varieties, codes, hybridization, remixing and beyond.
Reject the exclusion, marginalization, pathologization, and racialization of students for their perceived (dis)abilities, home, and community language practices.
Counteract an overemphasis on standardized English as the only legitimate language practice for generating knowledge in school and academic places.
Commit to co-creating spaces and opportunities to practice liberatory languaging for all minoritized communicators.
