In this interview with Dr. Tracey Benson, he shares the research and framework for his book, Unconscious Bias in Schools: A Developmental Approach to Exploring Race and Racism, which was released with Harvard Education Press in August 2019. Dr. Benson and his co-author Sarah Fiarman wrote this book as a roadmap for school and district leaders who seek to eliminate racial achievement gaps through rooting out and addressing racial bias in schools. Founder and CEO of Tracey A. Benson Consulting, Dr. Benson firmly believes student achievement, teacher efficacy, and school success is contingent upon high quality, equity-focused school and district leaders. He has committed his career to leading for change, courageously addressing entrenched practices that impede lifetime outcomes of students of color, and coaching education leaders to lead for racial equity through implementing anti-racist practices, policies, and curriculum in K – 12 schools.
