MARCH 14TH - INTRO TO IMPLICIT BIAS, MICROAGGRESSIONS, AND EQUITY LITERACY - 4:30-6 PM
Whether we call it implicit, subconscious, or unconscious bias, this phenomenon affects not only individual relationships and perceptions of others, but also influences policies and real world conditions that distort equitable opportunities for success in and outside of school. Although none of us can free ourselves of biases, we can learn how to recognize them, question them, and mitigate their impact. In addition to an exploration of implicit bias, participants will also examine microaggressions: the brief, frequent, often unintentional, yet harmful comments, slights, and actions that negatively impact people. As our local and national communities become more racially and culturally diverse, educators need to have the skills to recognize and address microaggressions when they occur, unpack their hidden messages, and better understand their impact. Using scenarios and case studies, we will practice the core skills of equity literacy: to recognize, respond to, and redress bias and inequity, and to create and sustain anti-bias environments.
