Pronouns and Names

Using correct names and pronouns is important to setting a tone of respect. Learning these is hard to do quickly, so we recommend displaying it prominently during the training.

Give everyone a moment to update their display name to reflect this information.

Note that pronouns are personal and some participants might prefer not to share them. Do not force people to share their pronouns.

Ask participants to sign in with their name, pronouns (optional), institution, and potentially a short icebreaker question (“Tell us one good thing that happened in the past week.”) in the course’s shared notes.

Introductions

Ask participants to introduce themselves verbally with the same information as in sign-in.
