This lecture delves into strategies to reduce both implicit and explicit bias in education, focusing on the impact of bias on student learning. The instructor discusses the importance of addressing explicit bias directly, becoming aware of implicit biases, and challenging stereotypes to improve beliefs and outcomes. A study on social belonging interventions for students is presented, showing positive effects on academic performance and mental well-being. The lecture emphasizes the significance of small interventions in changing stereotype beliefs and their lasting impact on student attainment and well-being.
