Break through the bias barrierWhat can happen in 200 milliseconds? In a word, everything. In that short time, your subconscious mind has shaped your perceptions and influenced your behaviors. In other words, you have experienced bias-for better or for worse.Unlocking School Bias ends the confusion around bias and provides educators with research and strategies that enable them to effectively address bias in the classroom and school in appropriate and productive ways. Learn to explore your own and your students¿ biases and discover: The latest research from psychology, education, and neuroscience Different types of biases, including confirmation bias and impact bias, and how they manifest themselves in everyday life Practical strategies for educators who are ready to change their and their students¿ actions How patterns in one's environment create biases and affect the brain's developmentImplicit bias occurs subconsciously and so quickly that the conscious brain is unaware that it happened. Yet, with mindful practice and reflection, we can rewrite the automated processes in our brains, stop our subconscious minds from determining our thoughts and behaviors, and help our students feel safe and successful in school.

Every move, every tackle, every hidden onset of the game, she is familiar with it all. She can hold her own against the best of players. After tragically losing a loved one, she finds herself in a game that is much more complicated than the one she is used to playing-the game of life.Read as she slowly learns how to get used to the intricacies of the game that she always took for granted: her relationship with her mother, coping with grief and loss, finding a place in a new city, the ups and downs of independence, losing and gaining new friends, and overcoming her struggling relationship with soccer as she joins an underground league.All of us have been Dena at some point in our lives and she leaves us with an important lesson: life is not very different from a soccer field-it's not the bruises we get along the game, it's the final score that matters.
