Unlearn: Critical Thinking by Design 

Unlearn founder Abhi Ahluwalia, is coming to Richmond next week for an evening webinar for parents/community members and 2 repeat sessions for SD38 staff on February 17^th professional development day. The focus of these sessions is to challenge participants to think critically about bias, stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination.  Participants will be challenged towards equity consciousness and highlight the bias we all have and to better understand how we can use this awareness to create a safe, caring, and inclusive environment promoting dignity and respect for all.
