On "seeing" students and invisible biases.

Today I took part in an enjoyable webinar via BigMarker.com - entitled What it Means to ‘See’ Your Students presented by @elizabethaself

Here’s her blurb from the site - where the session is recorded, and I’d recommend you make some time to view and listen.

In the first half of this session, I will share my current research on clinical simulations and how simulations can be used to develop cultural competence among both pre- and in-service teachers. I will walk teachers through one such simulation in order to better understand the potential dangers of “culture blindness.” In the second half of the session, I will work to help mathematics teachers think about what they can do in their own classrooms to better “see” their students in ways that support mathematics outcomes as well as healthy identity development.

Empathy on Continue
