The purpose of this training is to identify how implicit biases (unconscious bias) has the potential to, or has, erected barriers in our actions which impact the way students, perceive, learn, and receive support within their respective school environments; and identification of tools and interventions to remove and eliminate those barriers.
The training sessions will involve group activities that use the Social-Ecological Model (SEM). Participants will apply their knowledge of implicit bias with the SEM in the contextual analysis of themselves, their students, and school system, in discussions about power as it relates to access and how it is exercised in making decisions using reason and judgment. A member of the Implicit Bias Community of Practice from Building a Thriving and Compassionate Community will facilitate the training sessions.
