Free Virtual Series
IMPLICIT BIAS AWARENESS & MITIGATION
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
interfere 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. After participants learn about how the
unconscious 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.
Upon completion of Implicit Bias training, participants will:
• Understand what implicit bias is
• Understand how to uncover their own biases
• Understand how biases impact others and the organization
• Develop a personal action plan to mitigate personal biases
• Apply their learning in personal practice
Facilitated by:
