This is developed over time. Taking it to another level, principals should be trusted for the decision that they make. sbacchus1 https://padlet.com/patriciajahaly/l0ulhlq4lwczjp0e/wish/2048845011 Towards the end of the article it speaks of suspension records.

To my surprise, there was a pattern that I was unaware of until I measured it. ]]> 2022-02-15 15:33:41 UTC https://padlet.com/patriciajahaly/l0ulhlq4lwczjp0e/wish/2048848411 I wonder how many teachers would take the Project Implicit bias test https://padlet.com/patriciajahaly/l0ulhlq4lwczjp0e/wish/2048848422 2022-02-15 15:33:41 UTC https://padlet.com/patriciajahaly/l0ulhlq4lwczjp0e/wish/2048848422 https://padlet.com/patriciajahaly/l0ulhlq4lwczjp0e/wish/2048849653 School leaders must eliminate the stigma around bias no matter how uncomfortable it may be.

Opening discussion regarding the topic should be conducted in conjunction with research and articles so that everyone remains open to the discussion and willing to delve into the topic. ]]> 2022-02-15 15:35:54 UTC https://padlet.com/patriciajahaly/l0ulhlq4lwczjp0e/wish/2048853621 Quite interesting as to how unconscious we are in completing daily tasks - Whether its calling onthe same students in the classroom or making assumptions about capabilities etc https://padlet.com/patriciajahaly/l0ulhlq4lwczjp0e/wish/2048855330 2022-02-15 15:36:35 UTC https://padlet.com/patriciajahaly/l0ulhlq4lwczjp0e/wish/2048855330 While our district is predominantly students of color, our suspension records reflect the same disproportionality in severity as less diverse districts. https://padlet.com/patriciajahaly/l0ulhlq4lwczjp0e/wish/2048856676 2022-02-15 15:37:07 UTC https://padlet.com/patriciajahaly/l0ulhlq4lwczjp0e/wish/2048856676 Points of Interest for Me https://padlet.com/patriciajahaly/l0ulhlq4lwczjp0e/wish/2048859183 (1) Interesting terminology "Culturally  Valued" Group compared with "Stigmatized" Group. 
(2) The bias is not "deliberate." 
(3) Multiple Response Strategy to create a random selection of students (blind system)
(4) Pattern Interrupt - interrupt unconscious bias
