The rapid pace of education means school leaders are faced with countless bits of information while making decisions that have momentary to long-term impacts on educational outcomes, all while serving an increasingly diverse student population. How can we create learning environments and workplaces in which everyone feels valued and able to offer their best? This session offers the opportunity to explore the impact of personal bias while identifying and exploring the cycle necessary to mitigate bias. Attendees will identify what bias is and the impact it has on performance for individuals and organizations, understand how the brain works to increase self-awareness and acknowledge personal bias, and identify tools to mitigate bias and practice each phase of the cycle.
