This fall, students in CAD 660: Advanced Applied Development Science in Child & Adolescence learned about the development of implicit bias, which starts in infancy. Students then applied this knowledge to their work with children and youth. For this assignment, Tierra Clark, a graduating senior majoring in Child & Adolescent Development with a concentration Early Childhood and a Special Education minor, created a website called Empowering Children Through Activism: Tips for Caregivers and Teachers. On her website she explains the science of implicit bias through a developmental lens and why children learning about activism matters, and gives specific information for caregivers and teachers about what they can do.
