Implicit Bias Awareness and Mitigation Training Series
Description
For educators to truly strive for equity they must first understand how they may be unintentionally contributing to the problems they seek to solve. In this comprehensive series world renowned Social-Psychologist and Implicit Bias trainer Dr. Bryant T. Marks helps participants become aware of how their own subconscious mind can intefere with the positive intentions they have for students and families. Participants will realize that we all have biases and they are a natural part of the human experience. It does not make us bad people. <br /><br />After participants learn about how the unconscous mind works they will have opportunities to reflect and then develop a plan to take action to mitigate their implicit bias using research-based strategies. <br />
