IDEA

(Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access)
Members of the MCELA Executive Board created this working group to focus on an important goal: Support Maine educators as they explore ways to develop materials and practices for inclusion, diversity, equity, and access. In particular, MCELA invites educators to think about, discuss, and take steps to address issues related to racism, income disparity, gender identity, environmental justice, equity, genocide, and indigenous sovereignty.

Each month, the IDEA Collective of MCELA will share a resource for educators to explore and consider using in their practice and with their students.

Report on educational gag orders

11/14/2022

Read: PEN America recently shared their key findings of a report about legislative efforts to enforce education gag orders. The authors write, “Educational gag orders are state legislative efforts to restrict teaching about topics such as race, gender, American history, and LGBTQ+ identities in K–12 and higher education.” Consider reviewing aspects of this report with your colleagues and discuss how you can take steps to protect yourself, your colleagues, and your community against these insidious attempts to silence important voices.
