Brought the District Diversity Committee and District PDC together to plan this portion

A. Set questions for Debriefing the Morning (approximately an hour) Small group debriefing the questions from the morning, and then come together for full group sharing aloud. 1. Aha moments-What new learning did you get out of the implicit bias session? 2. How does this relate to your role as a staff member? Now that we know this information, what do our students and families see, feel, hear in our building? 3. What are areas to celebrate that you want to continue? 4. What are next steps that your building can take to improve?

  • B. Options for Remaining Time - This is building decision and should be coordinated with

building principal(s), diversity committee member, and PD chair.

  • Diversity Checklist
  • Analyzing curriculum unit or topic - culturally responsive curriculum
  • Harvard Implicit bias test https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/takeatest.html
