Diversity, equity, and inclusion

An elementary level of language proficiency does not prevent us from engaging in meaningful work
toward goals of diversity, equity, inclusion, and access. Students who work through this program have
multiple opportunities to critically reflect on their own intersectional identities, multifaceted communities, and cultures. Students share their own beliefs and experiences and learn from their classmates and
the textbook materials.
Textbook materials center student voices as well as those of underrepresented groups, including women,
indigenous peoples, Spanish speakers in the US, Afrolatinxs, LGBTQ+ folks, and people with disabilities.
Students develop greater self-awareness and consider social issues through lenses of race and ethnicity.
Despite the limits of language at these beginning levels, students explore and discuss the impact of power
inequities on marginalized groups within historical and contemporary contexts, within their own communities, and within Spanish-speaking communities locally, nationally, and internationally. Students conceptualize and discuss both systemic and individual change with attention toward racial and social justice.
