FCB - Managing the Impact of Biases

Rationale

Staff, faculty, and leaders may hold assumptions about student and colleague behaviors and their capability for academic and work-related success that are tied to their identities and/or backgrounds. These assumptions can impede student and colleague growth (Alim & Paris, 2017; Ormand, 2019).

Practices

Reflect on how your identities and implicit biases may impact your interactions
Work to view others through an asset-based mindset
Use feedback to inform your use of inclusive practices
Use equitable grading practices
Use equitable hiring and evaluation practices
Use rubrics to ensure equity
Use surveys, discussions, and meetings to get to know students and colleagues
Design policies that reflect an understanding of your students and staff
