"Unpleasant apprehension arising from the awareness of a negative ability stereotype in a situation where the stereotype is relevant, and thus confirmable."

--Steele & Aronson, 1995

This applications-based webinar helps educators recognize and address the complex role diversity plays in learning environments. In this webinar, you will learn strategies to reduce stereotype threat including:

• Encouraging growth mindsets
• Encouraging belonging based on effort/engagement
