(Wait List) Did They Really Just Say That?! Responding to Bias in the Classroom

This is an endorsement-eligible experience for the Inclusive Teaching Endorsement.

Have you ever been in a class discussion when a student said something biased, but you were not sure how to respond as the instructor?  As educators, we must be empowered to take action when bias manifests in our classrooms so that we can build inclusive connections. This session will incorporate research related to the bystander effect, microaggressions, perceptions of bias in college classrooms, and benefits of creating inclusive learning environments. This session will equip participants with actionable skills to facilitate educational conversations in response to bias incidents in ways that support our students. Participants in this session will thus learn how to communicate effectively in challenging situations through the employment of strategies that can be tailored to the circumstances at hand.
