6. FamFam Activity: What was up with that Implicit Bias Test??
- "The IAT score is based on how long it takes a person, on average, to sort the words in the third part of the IAT versus the fifth part of the IAT. We would say that one has an implicit preference for thin people relative to fat people if they are faster to categorize words when Thin People and Good share a response key and Fat People and Bad share a response key, relative to the reverse."
- Answer Garden Results
- Sound off about it.
- Feel free to access the fun Feeling Word Cloud below.
- What did you think about the method?
- What about the questions at the end?
- How did you feel about your results?
7. Small Group Activity: Using Bloom's to Tackle Bias
From LAUNCH: "We need to know we have these (implicit biases) in order to combat them."
- Take a look at the list of educational terms below. The lowest level of classifying human cognition according to Benjamin Bloom was the Knowledge Level (identifying, reciting, listing, etc.), and can be as complex as Synthesis and Evaluation (critiquing, recommending, composing, etc.).
- Bloom's Taxonomy has since been revised as a set of thinking skills. These range from Remembering to Creation.
- "lower-order thinking skills" are mentioned on p. 473 of the Ferri/O'Connor article.
- Bloom's Taxonomy (original and revised) use sets of verbs and nouns to assist educators in crafting lessons that specifically target areas along the Thinking Skills continuum.
- See the charts below, and click on the "Bloom's Taxonomy" title to visit an in-depth website.
- How can we relate this concept of knowing that we have bias - and then doing something about it - to education & schooling?
- How could we use these Bloom's terms to help us process bias in our own personal lives?
Use chart paper to make sense of your group conversations for your classmates
- We'll have a gallery walk after.
Driving Question:
- How might living in Flint, Michigan affect school performance, given race, social class, and the brain deficits that scientists have shown to be an effect from high levels of lead in water?
- How might this effect be extended once these children grow up?
8. SMALL GROUP HOMEWORK: Current Events Connection to Readings/Videos
- Decide on a current event (2017) that relates to your assigned reading/video below.
- Toss around some "I wonder..." statements about how the readings and the current event are related, and how they relate to the themes, terms, etc. that we've discussed so far. Think about how they relate to social justice and/or education.
- Dialogue together as a group, whether that's in person, text, Google Hangouts, etc.
- Present what you discussed to the class next Thursday.
- Don't forget to include your "I wonder..." statements that sparked your discussion.
- Include activity for us to do! Questions, a game, a quiz, an activity, be creative.
- You can use multimedia if you'd like.
- This should take 5-10 minutes of class time.
- Groups 1 & 4: Colonizing Wild Tongues + How We Suppress Genius
- Groups 2 & 3: Laverne Cox
