- learn what implicit bias is, how it can influence classroom decisions, and strategies to reduce bias when working with a diverse group of students.

Description
When identifying students at risk for social–emotional challenges, it is important for teachers to be aware of their own implicit biases. Formed through our experiences, implicit biases influence our thoughts and behaviors, and for this reason, teachers may benefit from receiving training in this area. This presentation will provide information on the existing literature on implicit bias training, as well as the impact of priming on student outcomes. Implications and future directions will be discussed.
