Responding to Bias and Discrimination in Schools

This interactive workshop explores how bias, discriminatory behaviors, and identity-based bullying surfaces in schools from covert (perhaps even unintentional) behaviors, like microaggressions, to egregious ones, like hate crimes. This session describes the current context of bias and discrimination in schools, shares individual sentence stems and systemic interventions to address biased language and behavior, and provides time to practice and integrate learnings into plans for the next school year.
