Implicit Bias in Schools: A Practitioner’s Guide
Gina L. Gullo, Kelly Capatosto, and Cheryl Staats

Implicit Bias in Schools, to be released in December, provides practitioners with an understanding of implicit bias and how to address it from start to finish: what is it, how is it a problem, and how can we fix it. Grounded in an accessible summary of research on bias and inequity in schools, this book bridges the research-to-practice gap by exploring how implicit bias affects students and what school leaders can do to mitigate the effects of bias in their schools. Covering issues of discipline, instruction, academic achievement, mindfulness, data collection, and
culturally relevant practices and full of rich examples and strategies, Implicit Bias in Schools is a must-have resource for educators today.
