Cult of Pedagogy 188: Blind Spots Public

Sweet Home Teacher Center

Blind Spots: Uncovering your implicit bias- an exercise for teachers. Jennifer Gonzalez and Hedreich Nichols discuss how becoming a more inclusive educator means making shifts in our learning environments to engage all learners, especially those who may lack a strong sense of belonging in our school community. A big part of that shift is uncovering our biases, finding out who we think of as “us” and who we think of as “them.”
