Season 8 Episode#19 No More Grammar Shame: Language, Identity & Literacy Justice with Patty McGee
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if the way we teach grammar is actually doing harm?
In this episode of The Cultural Curriculum Chat™ Podcast, host Jebeh Edmunds sits down with Patty McGee — author, literacy educator, and consultant — to challenge the shame-based, punitive ways grammar has been taught for generations.
Patty shares how language is deeply connected to identity, culture, and belonging, and why students from marginalized communities are often made to feel that the way they speak is “wrong” instead of valid. Together, they explore how grammar can be taught through play, curiosity, and multiple “buckets” of language rather than correction and compliance.
This conversation is essential listening for educators who want to build classrooms where students feel seen, respected, and empowered through their words.
