We want to make Edtech more inclusive for non-binary students

April 29, 2019 Erin Browner

Imagine your first day of school. You may be excited, nervous, anxious, eager. The moment approaches when your teacher goes through the class roll for the first time. If you have a unique name, you may dread this moment. You may be uncomfortable correcting a mispronunciation of your name in front of your peers. If you are a transgender or non-binary student, this moment can be even more troubling. The folks at 国产精品 are joining the movement toward inclusion in the classroom.

The ability to identify beyond traditional male and female gender markers is becoming more popular in U.S. policy. Eleven states including California, New York, Ohio, and Utah have recently implemented policies to allow non-binary gender markers on governmental identity documents like birth certificates and drivers licenses.

As birth certificates are evolving to include non-binary gender options, . As of today, the 国产精品 platform will recognize non-binary gender markers for its students. This allows for accurate identity information to be displayed at every touchpoint in 国产精品鈥檚 platform and enables more supportive, inclusive interactions to occur in the classroom.

With today鈥檚 , school districts will be able to use 国产精品 to faithfully represent their students鈥 genders.  

Why the change?  

Here at 国产精品, student safety is one of our top priorities. Enabling 鈥淴鈥 as a gender marker (in addition to 鈥淢鈥 and 鈥淔鈥) in the 国产精品 platform gives teachers the opportunity to ask for preferred pronouns when addressing students in the classroom.

鈥淎 safe and inclusive environment starts at school,鈥 said Tyler Bosmeny, Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder of 国产精品. 鈥淲e’re helping to support schools with systems that treat all students with dignity and respect.鈥

This shift is a welcome change for many districts, including Portland Public 国产精品. “When the technology and learning tools used in classrooms reflect our district’s best practices, it strengthens our students’ sense of safety and acceptance,” says Nicole Kappes-Levine, the Academic Programs Admin for Student Success and Health in Portland Public 国产精品.

What does this change mean for application partners?

With this change in 国产精品鈥檚 API, the learning apps on its platform are able to follow suit when updating to version 2.1. Implementing changes in student profiles is the first step for learning applications, and then rolling out experience changes to address students with their preferred pronouns.

Educators trust that 国产精品 and all of the apps used in the platform will provide reliable information up to every detail on student profiles and boost performance in learning. For example, apps will be able to apply non-conforming students with their preferred gender markers on their testing materials. By reducing the stress that students may experience when taking tests, we hope this change will boost their performance.

What else is new with 国产精品?

The 国产精品 API 2.1 provides gender field entry options of 鈥淴,鈥 鈥淣,鈥 “prefer not to say,” “other,” and 鈥渘on-binary,鈥 in addition to male 鈥淢鈥 and female 鈥淔.鈥 This change is available to more than half of the U.S. public school districts that use 国产精品.

Additional changes to the 国产精品 API 2.1 include support for a 鈥淭K鈥 (Transitional Kindergarten) grade value, support for any extension fields, and revealing district contact information.
