Teacher's view: Addressing bias in the classroom
In the previous Step you’ve looked at unconscious bias and how this way of thinking leads to making automatic and unintentional judgments.
In the first of our round table discussions, watch Janine Evans John, Science Teacher and Luke Davies, Head of Drama, both from The Hurst Community College, discuss with Helen the assumptions some adults make when working with pupils, how it can affect their learning, and how to recognise and overcome your own unconscious bias.
Have you had to overcome any of your own unconscious bias? How did you recognise it and what did you do to overcome it?
