What did you discover regarding your personal biases and what is your action plan to address those biases? (Briefly explain) by Sheena Canady https://padlet.com/canadys1/kqsqybw9ihc Unconscious Bias Action Plan en-us 2017-03-10 15:40:32 UTC 2026-01-11 13:20:20 UTC hello@padlet.com I do end up asking students with an IEP lower DOK questions than I do with students without IEP's. I also tend to call on students that are more toward the middle of the classroom than the end rows. I plan on using name sticks more, that way I am calling more than just the general names out. https://padlet.com/canadys1/kqsqybw9ihc/wish/159335405 2017-03-10 17:25:44 UTC https://padlet.com/canadys1/kqsqybw9ihc/wish/159335405 When I notice a student misbehaving or not on task, I need to survey the room to see if anyone else is also displaying the same behaviors before I address the "problem." https://padlet.com/canadys1/kqsqybw9ihc/wish/159335447 2017-03-10 17:25:52 UTC https://padlet.com/canadys1/kqsqybw9ihc/wish/159335447 https://padlet.com/canadys1/kqsqybw9ihc/wish/159335448 Before reprimanding a student for their behavior, scan and make sure no one else is doing the same activity.

I am going to try to be more aware about these and as I notice and identify them I want to come up with ideas to help counteract these biases. ]]> 2017-03-10 17:25:54 UTC https://padlet.com/canadys1/kqsqybw9ihc/wish/159335455 https://padlet.com/canadys1/kqsqybw9ihc/wish/159335459 I discovered that I did not have any bias concerning black and white people. I do think that I have bias towards expectations. I often expect all students to follow all directions and try their best regardless of what type of behavior or academic needs they have. I need to work on this ]]> 2017-03-10 17:25:54 UTC https://padlet.com/canadys1/kqsqybw9ihc/wish/159335459 I do not have a noticeable bias. Action plan: Always assess the room before calling out a student on a behavior. https://padlet.com/canadys1/kqsqybw9ihc/wish/159335486 2017-03-10 17:26:00 UTC https://padlet.com/canadys1/kqsqybw9ihc/wish/159335486 I am biased toward Tier 2 students in my room. I focus on their behavior more than others. I will try to spread the love and make observations on other students' behavior as well. https://padlet.com/canadys1/kqsqybw9ihc/wish/159335503

I need to start noticing when they are doing following directions more instead of doing other things to get them in trouble. https://padlet.com/canadys1/kqsqybw9ihc/wish/159335888 2017-03-10 17:27:11 UTC https://padlet.com/canadys1/kqsqybw9ihc/wish/159335888 I was not biased towards people who are white or black. https://padlet.com/canadys1/kqsqybw9ihc/wish/159335898 2017-03-10 17:27:13 UTC https://padlet.com/canadys1/kqsqybw9ihc/wish/159335898 Bias https://padlet.com/canadys1/kqsqybw9ihc/wish/159335937 I discovered I did not have any biases.
