This webinar is sponsored by Second Step, an initiative of Committee for Children.
In this presentation we will explore how biases and microaggressions delivered intentionally or unintentionally can cause a rift in teacher-family partnership and staff relationships. Using real life examples, we will examine different types of microaggressions, their potential messages and impacts on the recipients. We will also offer suggestions for addressing microaggressions in schools, and practical strategies for more effective and respectful communication.

- To discuss the underlying messages of these incidents and the internal dilemmas that recipients of microaggression experience.
