Why it sparks inspiration

How does implicit racial bias influence behaviour management practices in early childhood programs? This recorded webinar will help educators understand implicit bias and its impact on children of colour, especially Black children. It also offers strategies to address biases in classroom practices. Educators will explore actionable steps to reduce bias, foster equity, and create culturally responsive environments that support positive outcomes for all children.


"Implicit bias impacts everything! From the ways we observe behaviour to how we handle discipline, it influences our perceptions and actions, often without us even realizing it."


How it can inspire your practice

  • Educators can use what they learn in the webinar to critically examine their own behaviour management practices, including identifying and addressing any implicit biases.
  • Program leaders can use the strategies to revise program policies and practices to promote equity and reduce disciplinary actions driven by racial bias.
