When selecting terms to describe people, whether their race and ethnicity, gender, physical ability, or even immigration status, the key is to select the most inclusive and affirming language for all potential learners. While not all-encompassing, the concepts presented here can be used in other contexts, such as discussing age, body size, socioeconomic status, education, and more. Language matters and removing potentially harmful phrases will improve our educational content and design and make them more welcoming to a broader range of learners.
