Educators must achieve cultural proficiency to overcome unconscious biases and tap the limitless potential of their school communities.
In The Consciously Unbiased Educator, cultural proficiency expert and former teacher Huda Essa helps educators uncover and surmount the limitations of unconscious biases—stereotypes that form below the surface of our awareness, making them harder to detect. Although these biases aren't formed with the intent to do harm, if they are not interrupted, they contribute to negative outcomes for students.
With warmth and wisdom, Essa urges educators to move past any reflexive defensiveness or shame that comes with facing these biases to take a journey that will ultimately empower and benefit the entire school community. Filled with rich, clarifying insights drawn from Essa's own experience as well as comprehensive research findings, this inspirational resource pushes readers' thinking to new levels.
To aid in examining these biases, this thought-provoking yet highly approachable book offers
Editable PDF versions of the prompts and resources within the book are also available to enhance and extend opportunities for reflection and learning. Readers will build the knowledge and skills they need to ""become their own manual"" and apply their learning off the page.
Educators can change the status quo. If we want our students to remember us as educators who touch hearts, open minds, and awaken souls, we must boldly address the topic of bias.
