Think Again: Overcoming Unconscious Bias in Schools

Think Again: Overcoming Unconscious Bias in Schools is an interactive workshop aimed at helping educators recognise and address unconscious bias in the classroom. Participants explore how bias affects teaching, learning, and student outcomes, particularly in areas like behaviour, curriculum representation, and disciplinary practices. The session includes real-world case studies, strategies for reducing bias (such as culturally responsive teaching and bias-aware assessment), and tools for fostering inclusive school cultures. Educators leave with practical strategies to mitigate bias, create equitable learning environments, and develop personalised action plans to continue their growth in promoting inclusion. The workshop encourages ongoing self-reflection, dialogue, and professional development to support all students’ success.
