(8:10 ET) Q2 What work can schools do to create truly inclusive, anti-racist learning environments? What work are you personally committed to doing? #MasteryChat

(8:40 ET) Q5 Implicit biases are unconsciously-held negative stereotypes or beliefs that we hold towards people. How does implicit bias affect our students’ educational experiences in terms of academic expectations, discipline, and social-emotional well-being? #MasteryChat
