Disrupting Implicit Bias & Cultivating Belonging in the Classroom
Tuesday August 6, 2024 1:45pm - 2:45pm EDT
W1101
This session is designed for educators who want to learn where their ‘blind spots’ are. Implicit bias can be described as an automatic and unconscious associations people make between certain groups of people and stereotypes about members of that group. In many cases, these unconscious associations can influence one’s behavior, causing individuals to respond/act in ways that are unintentionally discriminatory. Decades of research has shown that implicit biases exist in the absence of overt bigotry, and greatly shape our social interactions and decision-making processes, even in spite of good intentions and the existence of nondiscriminatory policies, practices and standards. After learning where our ‘blind spots ’are, we will work to begin the journey of continuous self-reflection and disrupting our individual biases.
