New paper in @easpinfo detailing an empathy intervention with teachers in England.
Students (notably boys) whose teacher had been encouraged to make them feel valued and heard had better end of year behavioural records.

NEW PAPER @BPSOfficial with the incredible @MattEasters & Linda Tropp.
Trainee teachers had an aversion to working at schools in low-income communities. BUT this bias was attenuated when they had contact experiences with people in financial hardship.

New paper.
Teachers' implicit SES and ethnicity biases were more likely to emerge when assessing low-quality work (S1) and when working under high cognitive load/overworked (S2). Clear advantages for White middle-class students.

New paper!
Building on our work showing that teachers, like us all, exibit biases, we find that teachers exhibited a bias blind spot: they perceived unconscious bias as an issue for other teachers but not for themselves.

New paper with @MattEasters & @profprharris in SPOE @SpringerNature

We found that teachers exhibited a bias blind spot, whereby they were more likely to perceive bias as an issue for other teachers to contend with rather than as a concern for themselves.🧵

…Self-affirmed teachers were more likely to agree to have their teaching filmed to see if/where personal biases may exist. However, we found that self-affirmation did not alter levels of overall acceptance of bias or perceptions of personal relevance.

…more work needs to be done to challenge and change the narrative of prejudice in schooling, from one that concerns only a few ‘bad apples’ to one that is accepted as an issue for all educators to be aware of and responsible for.

Why, on average, are children from poorer backgrounds outperformed in school by their more affluent peers?

New paper with @LewisDoyle_ & it's an important one:
Teachers marked identical work by a White British or Black Carribean student who was or wasn't eligible for free school meals.
FSM students were given lower marks.
