Webinar Recording: Unconscious Bias in Classrooms
The unconscious mind is a reservoir of feelings, thoughts, urges, and memories. Bringing some of these unconscious biases into our conscious mind will assist us in becoming more aware of our classroom interactions and contribute to us better catering for our students.
Description
Ever thought about how unconscious biases could be affecting your classroom interactions and learning outcomes? Join us for an enlightening webinar, "Unconscious Bias in your Classroom", and bring those unconscious thoughts to light. You’re invited to join Helen Storr for a deep dive into the realm of the unconscious mind - a melting pot of feelings, thoughts, urges, and memories accumulated throughout our lives. Unconscious biases can shape our world in ways we often aren't aware of, but bringing these biases into our conscious mind can greatly improve our classroom interactions and how we cater to our students. Throughout the session, we will cover various topics such as defining what unconscious bias is, exploring its different types, and understanding how these biases manifest in our classrooms. More importantly, we will also focus on strategies to effectively address these unconscious biases. By the end of this enlightening webinar, you will not only understand unconscious bias but also be aware of your own biases and those that students bring to the classroom. With newfound strategies, you can cater to these biases, creating a more inclusive, effective learning environment.
