Schools are becoming increasingly aware of the impact unconscious bias can have on student outcomes, but to act effectively on this new knowledge, for teachers and staff to recognize their own biases and for schools to correct and overcome inequitable practices, they need the right kind of support.

North Central Ohio Educational Service Center and FranklinCovey | Education have partnered to offer a 3-day series that focuses on exploring bias and creating ways to face bias with courage, ensuring everyone is respected, included, and valued. Equity in the Classroom will help educators grow their ability to identify and reduce bias and create an equitable classroom environment where all students have the support, rigor, and relationships to empower their academic success. Funding is provided by RemotEDx--Reimaging the future of education in Ohio. Collaborating educational service centers include Brown County ESC, East Central Ohio ESC, ESC of Northeast Ohio, and Ohio Valley ESCThere is no fee to districts for this series.
