The focus of this paper will be on the non-academic area of education, the biases that can adversely affect a student's learning, and how to improve on those areas. The paper has been split into teachers, administration, and parents to allow for more targeted interventions.]]> 2021-11-17 20:14:29 UTC https://padlet.com/nariok/2ryxahclavqpc8eu/wish/1897902273 nariok https://padlet.com/nariok/2ryxahclavqpc8eu/wish/1897903243 Teachers:
Educators can often be biased against particular students and give certain groups preferential treatment as a result.

Admin:
When offering school lunches, the administration often fails to account for visceral factors (in this case, hunger) in decision-making on part of the students.

Parents:
The extent to which parents are actively involved in their child’s educational journey (to either extreme – highly invested in an authoritative manner v. barely engaged) can drastically alter and adversely impact the way students engage with or approach their education. ]]> 2021-11-17 20:15:04 UTC https://padlet.com/nariok/2ryxahclavqpc8eu/wish/1897903243 nariok https://padlet.com/nariok/2ryxahclavqpc8eu/wish/1897903770 Teachers:
To address teacher biases, teachers would have to take Implicit Attitude Tests. Additionally, students' identities would be blinded as far as possible.

Admin:
School administrations should nudge students to make healthy choices by increasing increase the ease and convenience of selecting these food items. Also, extending lunch periods would reduce the pressure of time constraints for students when selecting food items in the cafeteria.

Parents:
To find an appropriate balance and level of engagement for parents, mandatory parent-teacher conferences at least once per quarter would be implemented and heightened involvement can also be incentivized through the creation of a parent perks program that rewards productive and useful participation. Parents would additionally be required to sign off on students’ homework at random intervals to ensure they are checking in on their child’s academic performance. On the other hand, the idea that education is multi-faceted with the inclusion of extracurricular activities would be reinforced with less emphasis on college placement at parent-teacher conferences. ]]> 2021-11-17 20:15:24 UTC https://padlet.com/nariok/2ryxahclavqpc8eu/wish/1897903770 nariok https://padlet.com/nariok/2ryxahclavqpc8eu/wish/1897904584 Teachers:
Implicit attitudes and in-group favoritism are the main biases that impact the way teachers treat students.

Admin:
Poor nutrition and hunger cause students to fall back on their experiential and instinctual thinking.

Parents:
Parents who are extremely involved may be affected by the competitive escalation paradigm while those who are more detached could be influenced by overconfidence bias.  ]]> 2021-11-17 20:15:52 UTC https://padlet.com/nariok/2ryxahclavqpc8eu/wish/1897904584 nariok https://padlet.com/nariok/2ryxahclavqpc8eu/wish/1897905044 Teachers:
Data analysis on demographic data coupled with student surveys would be the way impact is measured for teachers.

Admin:
Collecting data on food inventory in the cafeteria after lunch periods to see if students are choosing the healthier options when given more time and the food items are displayed at an easily accessible location/area.

Parents:
Student surveys detailing thoughts on their parents’ involvement before and after changes have been implemented, teacher reports on their perception of parents’ engagement based on discussion at parent-teacher conferences, and attendance at school events can track the degree of success. ]]> 2021-11-17 20:16:09 UTC https://padlet.com/nariok/2ryxahclavqpc8eu/wish/1897905044 rsaialluri11 https://padlet.com/nariok/2ryxahclavqpc8eu/wish/1918908814 2021-11-29 20:19:36 UTC https://padlet.com/nariok/2ryxahclavqpc8eu/wish/1918908814
