Let’s review the lens with some of the strategies learned this year

5. Greetings at the Door Implicit Bias Strategy Promote Lens
Greeting at the door helps to promote a reduction in implicit bias by requiring a uniform response to ALL students. It also helps to build a foundation for relationships so that we can learn more about each other and thwart assumptions.
Using the lens of reducing IB to reflect on greeting at the door pushes us to look at who we are greeting enthusiastically and welcoming to program versus who we are greeting to check the box that we completed a task. Who do we have a hard time greeting?
