Response paper # 1 – The Concept of Race & Implicit Bias in the Classroom (100 pts.)
Draft a (2 full pages, double spaced, APA style) response paper that synthesizes all activities and demonstrates extended thinking about the following questions:
1. How could your unconsciously held biases impact the way you support all students? (CITE SOURCES and research this topic)
2. How does the history of discrimination in America and your own socialization impact your unconciously held biases? Discuss all articles.
Required Readings:
Log onto the link for the Implicit Associations Test: https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/canada/takeatest.html For this assignment, you should take the tests that relate to race, color, or disability. (If you have difficulty accessing the test, try using a different browser.) Think of this as a simulation activity for revealing potentially held implicit bias (do not read too much in to your results as they can change if you take the test more than once).
