Volunteers read specially selected books in the classroom, then lead discussions and activities that help teach valuable lessons related to these issues.
My Name My Identity is a campaign created by the Santa Clara County Office of Education and its Multilingual Education Services team with the Curriculum and Instruction Department. Since each of us is unique, so is our name. Because our name is tied to our identity, we would not wish to have our names changed or mispronounced. When our name is changed or unintentionally mispronounced, it is a misrepresentation of who we are -- because our name represents our identity.
Bring awareness to the importance of respecting one’s name and identity in schools as measured by the number of community members making a pledge to pronounce students’ names correctly
Build a respectful and caring culture in school communities that values diversity as measured by my name stories posted
