About This Lesson
Part of the 2019 AFT TEACH Conference.
Invisible barriers prevent teachers and students from truly seeing each other, connecting, and building the relationships necessary for learning and growth to occur. Many classrooms across the nation suffer from the presence and impact of these invisible barriers that show up as implicit bias, stereotype threat, and stereotype consciousness. Closing this relationship gap is crucial to student success. This session will give specific steps teachers can take to close the relationship gap, restore fractured relations in the classroom and boost student success.
