How do you stop bias in your classroom?
Bias can really hurt a classroom. Students will turn on each other, and then they will turn on you. Speak about creating a culture where you can be fair and open with your students. If you can prove of past examples where you did this well, the interviewer will really look in your direction for the next hire.
"I remember a few years back where I overheard some students talking about a bias towards ____. I thought it was inappropriate and inconsiderate. As class let out, I kept the students behind to talk about the inaccuracy. It created an understanding where the student realized there were people in the class who they were hurting. It was an eye-opening experience for all."
