"Implicit bias occurs subconsciously and at a rate of speed so fast that the conscious brain is unaware that it is happening. It influences our thoughts and actions before they are formulated. As a result, most of us acknowledge the outcomes of bias but are unaware when we are complicit. Since we are unaware of our implicit biases, the lack of motivation to address them makes sense. Who runs out to put out a fire that no one sees burning? Neuroscience helps us understand how our brains produce bias, predict when it is probable, and engage in appropriate responses. This book is written to end the confusion around bias and to provide educators with research and strategies that enable them to address the issues of bias in classrooms and schools. Neuroscience allows us to understand that we all are biased and possess a higher number of implicit biases than we could ever estimate. Not all of them are necessarily bad. Positive biases can provide a better disposition, help our social interactions, and even improve our physiology. Educators will learn to explore their own and their students' biases, and they will receive strategies for addressing them so that students can be more successful in school and life. Horacio has been a loyal Corwin author since 2016. He is a fantastic presenter who can keynote but also work in-depth with schools. He has been courted by a few other publishers, including ASCD, so I was thrilled that he brought this new book to us. I was also happy to see that it was already complete. He does need developmental editing, which Mia and are doing. Our goal is to have this book into production in September"--
