As an educator and a parent of a minority male... The bias conversation and videos hit home. We tell our children they are like everyone else and society reminds us that they are not. It is eye opening and a struggle I grapple with everyday even as an adult. No matter how many degrees I have...to the outside world I am a minority male first. DEEP!!!!!

Digging deeper into the evaluation tools was very helpful. As we worked through them, the evidence we need to collect became clearer - especially when tied directly to student achievement. CO

The newspaper article read aloud along with videos shown at the start of our day were powerful.  Unfortunately, biases are a part of our reality.  It is imperative that we arm our students with resources and tools to navigate situations in a productive and effective manner.

Game 24 was a fun and interactive activity.  These types of activities are great for the classroom to boast student engagement.

Any work on "Unconscious Bias" means having uncomfortable, honest conversations about how "isms" manifest in our day to day mindsets.  Positive outcomes can only be achieved when trust is established among the participants involved in the conversation.  Thank you for starting these conversations.

What we do is so important and reminds us of "drive like your kids live here".  That social consciousness can only be developed if we embrace others different to us.

Analyzing direct and indirect evidences for each domain provided a very clear picture for me about the new evaluation tool. Unconscious bias video was very meaningful.

Once we recognize and confront our unconscious biases, there is a next step.

Great job Math, Science, and STEM team.

Are you smarter than a 3rd or 4th grader?  Apparently, in some areas, I am not.

The videos on bias are really eye opening and important to note that it starts at such a young age and it impacts them for the rest of their life.

Thank you Math, Science, and STEM Team for a great presentation, especially Game 24.  Are you smarter than a 4th grader?  Apparently, I am not.

Once we acknowledge our unconscious biases, it is important to do something about them.

Today's bias conversation was so important; all too often I hear statements made starting with "These kids can't...". I am reminded of the importance of addressing these kind of remarks each time they come up.

On another note, let me just add this for Mr. Suro:

Reviewing the math data was very informative.
Looking at the direct and indirect pieces of evidences for Domain 2 & Domain 4 & Domain 5 was also a great opportunity to discuss with our team how we will provide evidence for each of these domains. MA

I appreciate the conversation about unconscious bias about our young men. This is an ongoing battle that we must continue to address. The Math, Science, and STEM department did a great job. Thank You.

It is important to address any bias that you witness within your building and have those uncomfortable conversations. We have to be the voice of the children we service.

Starting today with the realities we face each, although it was a bit of a downer, was a great way to help us remember how important our work is everyday.  The continuation of working with our evaluation system  was also beneficial for our personal performance and growth.  The math presentation was definitely a high light for me.  I appreciated the extensive data and also the page in the packet that outlined what our next steps will be specifically.  Overall good day!!!!

The first institution introduced into most peoples lives is school. What we do once we receive those children will influence them for life. The school to prison pipeline is real, so we must be very careful to do the right thing !
