The only way to be certain about a person’s pronouns is to ask them; making assumptions may lead to misgendering, misidentifying, and/or otherwise negatively impacting the person. To respect each person’s identity and maintain and enhance our inclusive environment in the Coast Community College District, it is important that we use correct pronouns.  \nWhere will personal pronouns be displayed?  \nStarting Summer 2020, each Canvas user will have the option to select their pronouns from adropdown menu on the Canvas profile page. Users are not required to select pronouns in Canvas; in this case, the user’s name will still display. When users do select pronouns, their pronouns will be displayed next to their names in Canvas in these places:  \n● Comment Fields  \n● Discussions  \n● Inbox  \n● People Page (Course and Groups)  \n● User Navigation Menu  \n● User Profile Page  \n● User Settings Page  \nBecause Canvas users who select pronouns will have their pronouns displayed in so many places throughout the system, it should be easy for instructors and classmates to reference correct pronouns in this space.  \nWhat pronouns are available in Canvas?  \nThe pronouns available in Canvas are listed here:  \n● She/Her  \n● He/Him  \n● They/Them  \n● Ze/Hir  \n● Ze/Zir  \n● No Pronouns (Use my name.)  \nHere are examples of how to use the pronouns available in Canvas:  \n● (She/Her) She is a great classmate, and I appreciate her contributions in class!  \n● (He/Him) He is a great classmate, and I appreciate his contributions in class!  \n● (They/Them) They are a great classmate, and I appreciate their contributions in class!  \n● (Ze/Hir) Ze is a great classmate, and I appreciate hir* contributions in class!  \n● (Ze/Zir) Ze is a great classmate, and I appreciate zir** contributions in class!  \n● (No Pronouns. Use my name.) Max is a great classmate, and I appreciate Max’s contributions in class!  \n* “Hir” is pronounced like “here.”  \n** “Zir” rhymes with “here.”  \nFor additional information on using these pronouns, please [see](see www.mypronouns.org)[ ](see www.mypronouns.org)[www.mypronouns.org](see www.mypronouns.org).  \nWhat happens if I, or others, make a mistake?  \nA Learning Opportunity  \nAs faculty and students are getting to know each other, mistakes may happen. Remember this important rule: Oops. Ouch. Educate!  \nIn other words, the person who makes the mistake should acknowledge that they are not intentionally disrespecting the person for whom they used incorrect pronouns, and they should correct themselves or ask for a correction. People will appreciate each other’s effort and diligence as we all quickly learn and adapt.  \nAntidiscrimintation  \nThe Coast Community College District has an antidiscrimination policy (BP 3410: Prohibition of Discrimination and Harassment), which includes protections for sex and gender identities. To create a welcoming and safe environment for all members of the Coast community, we participate in the respectful use of personal pronouns.  \nWhere can I get more information or training on this subject?  \nAll of the Coast Colleges offer SafeZone training regularly, and this is an excellent option for those who want to understand more about pronouns and LGBTQ+ inclusive environments. Please contact your campus Title IX coordinator for more information on upcoming opportunities.  \nFor more specific training and/or information on this subject, please visit the Name Standards and Pronouns section of the Coast Colleges Equity, Inclusion, and Compliance site or contact Sacha Moore, District Coordinator of Equity, Inclusion, and Compliance, at[smoore@gwc.cccd.edu](smoore@gwc.cccd.edu).","cbCaipYB32hsL61E","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipYB32hsL61E","pdf",586675,"English","# Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)\n## What are personal pronouns, and why do they matter?\n## Where will personal pronouns be displayed?\n## What pronouns are available in Canvas?\n## What happens if I, or others, make a mistake?\n## Where can I get more information or training on this subject?","[{\"question\":\"What are personal pronouns, and why do they matter?\",\"answer\":\"Personal pronouns take the place of a person’s name.
