Every Journey Starts with the First Disruption: Discovering Unconscious Bias coming Nov. 3

Join us for an afternoon with Gina Weekley, Central Rivers AEA Coordinator of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, on Thursday, Nov. 3. *This is a free event! Register online at the Iowa AEA online learning login.

Unconscious bias limits our ability to make the best decisions for our teachers, our students and our families. This includes providing meaningful learning experiences on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) within the boundaries of Iowa Code 279.74 (formerly known as HF 802). The awareness of our biases is foundational to becoming more diverse, equitable and inclusive. Unconscious bias is something everyone has and that doesn’t make us bad; it makes us human. Prepare to learn, discuss and encourage each other to champion connections and the courage to disrupt bias and enhance DEI.

*The morning with Gina Weekley is open to all superintendents, and the afternoon session is open to all educators.
