Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Trainings

Implicit Bias

These research-based courses for educators explore issues of implicit bias based upon race, ethnicity, LGBTQ, and disability status through an analysis of “microaggressions” and “micro-insults.” Participants examine how implicit bias and microaggressions can impact the success of students regardless of the positive intent of adults or other students. Participants will develope an understanding of how our beliefs, understandings, and experiences can impact how behaviors allow educators to respond to (students, colleagues, families, etc) that may have a disparaging impact. They will also learn about additional resources and tools educators can develop and use that will help in identifying mindfulness and empathy strategies that can improve the way in which educators create and sustain relationships with (students, colleagues, families, etc).
