Break through the bias barrier

What can happen in 200 milliseconds? In a word, everything. In that short time, your subconscious mind has shaped your perceptions and influenced your behaviors. In other words, you have experienced bias—for better or for worse.

Unlocking School Bias ends the confusion around bias and provides educators with research and strategies that enable them to effectively address bias in the classroom and school in appropriate and productive ways. Learn to explore your own and your students' biases and discover:

The latest research from psychology, education, and neuroscience
Different types of biases, including confirmation bias and impact bias, and how they manifest themselves in everyday life
Practical strategies for educators who are ready to change their and their students' actions
How patterns in one’s environment create biases and affect the brain’s development

Implicit bias occurs subconsciously and so quickly that the conscious brain is unaware that it happened. Yet, with mindful practice and reflection, we can rewrite the automated processes in our brains, stop our subconscious minds from determining our thoughts and behaviors, and help our students feel safe and successful in school.

"With Unlocking School Bias, Horacio Sanchez takes a completely fresh approach to one of the most entrenched challenges that educators face: How do we address and ameliorate the harmful effects of bias? By better understanding the neuroscience of how bias evolves over time, Horacio removes blame and shame. He makes the complex clear and then translates the neuroscience into classroom practices that increase belonging and inclusion. If you are a district, school or classroom leader committed to equity and access for all students, this book will clarify, simplify, and energize your efforts."
