\u201cImplicit bias and systemic racism exist in classrooms and schools throughout our country. Although these biases are unintentional, they still have a negative impact that affects learning, engagement, achievement, and students\u2019 social and emotional well-being,\u201d said Devon Wible, vice president of academics, Catapult Learning. \u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to connecting with educators to discuss strategies to recognize implicit bias and how to plan and create learning environments that celebrate diversity, promote equity, and allow children to be themselves within a culturally responsive classroom.\u201d<\/p>\n
