Bias Bites for Leaders
These mini‐lessons are designed for school leaders to help educators explore their cognitive limitations through protocols that can be implemented in staff meetings, professional development sessions, and other school‐wide learning opportunities. Through 10 structured learning experiences, teachers will examine the cognitive biases that hinder critical thinking, developing greater intellectual humility and awareness to foster more spaces for civil discourse in their schools.
Lessons
Lesson
Bias Bite for Leaders #1
Confirmation Bias
This mini‐lesson is designed to help educators recognize and better understand confirmation bias through a structured professional development protocol. This cognitive shortcut helps us make quick decisions, but it can also lead to poor judgment, echo chambers in leadership, and closed‐minded thinking.
Lesson
Bias Bite for Leaders #2
In‐Group Bias
This mini‐lesson is designed to help educators recognize and better understand in‐group bias through a structured professional development protocol. This cognitive shortcut can help foster strong relationships within a group, but it can also lead to discrimination, a lack of viewpoint diversity, and limited collaboration with anyone outside the group.
