Addressing Structural Racism in LA County Schools

People often think that increased diversity and representation in schools prevents bias, but many of our systems have implicit bias against BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color). If it goes unaddressed, this bias can negatively impact student success. In this series, UCLA researcher Earl Edwards will help educators begin to recognize the bias inherent in educational systems, and how to take an anti-racist approach to creating more equitable school communities.
