I did a teaching project this week that focused on cultural bias. Often our students, or even we, have bias and we don't realize it. In regards to biases, there can be so many: gender, social, cultural, racial, etc. As educators, it is important to be aware of these biases that our students may bring into the classroom. We should be active in working aganist that. Provide ways for your students to get to know each other. When they can build relationships and gain a better understanding of why people are the way they are students will be able to gain a broader view of their piers. If our students had a perspective that was understanding and equal for all their peer, how much better would our classrooms be?
This article is an extension of moral development in the classroom.
