"Belief Systems Approach - If educators and school leaders intentionally examine their personal beliefs and biases they are better positioned and prepared to develop and implement culturally responsive educational experiences that support all students, in particular black and Latino young men, to enter, persist, and succeed in college and career."
"Instructors can consider a variety of strategies and benefits for revealing and addressing implicit bias, both in themselves and their students."
"These activities can be used to help students identify their stereotypic beliefs and prejudices, the sources of those beliefs and attitudes, and the behaviors that stem from them. "
"Unconscious or implicit bias refers to beliefs or attitudes that are activated automatically and without an individual’s awareness. These hidden biases are different from beliefs and attitudes that individuals are aware they hold but choose to conceal for the purposes of complying with social or legal norms."
