According to cultural and linguistic responsiveness expert Sharroky Hollie, even the most well-meaning people have hidden or implicit biases that can influence their behavior toward members of particular social groups. For educators, those hidden biases can make it difficult to ensure a learning environment that is fair, supportive, and equitable for all students.
In this video, Dr. Hollie dives deep into the danger of hidden biases and argues that educators must be aware of and committed to overcoming their own biases in order to affirm students culturally and linguistically.
