Implicit Bias: Reframing Our Assumptions
Description:
We all hold implicit and explicit biases and assumptions, despite our awareness of them – but we also all have the ability to acknowledge and deconstruct those biases. In this session, presenters will lead a collaborative, workshop-based discussion designed for K-12 educators who wish to further equity and inclusivity starting with their own relationships with students, peers, and families. Discussion will reflect on and deconstruct explicit biases while creating an affirming school culture.
