Implicit Bias

I was recently reading the March/April 2022 issue of "Science Scope" a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. In this issue, I read the section, "From the Editor's Desk," written by Patty McGinnis. She wrote an article entitled, "Implicit Bias Has No Room in the Classroom." The tendency for stereotype-confirming thoughts to pass spontaneously through our minds is what psychologists call implicit bias. One way to cultivate an awareness of our own implicit biases is to participate in Harvard University's Project Implicit: https://bit.ly/3rpscjM The project website contains numerous tests designed for individuals to uncover their biases.
