Case study 1

Thomas E. is a high school social studies teacher with 25 years of teaching experience in an urban district. To be viewed as hip by his students, Mr. E. chooses to use a racial slur in reference to one of the male students in the class. Several students go to the Principal to complain. When the principal meets with Mr. E., the teacher explains that he hears it used on television and in rap music all the time.

Timothy G. is a middle school science teacher who has several special needs students in his class.

While he works hard to help his students learn, Mr. G. believes that some students don't belong in a mainstream class and that IEPs undermine his ability to teach. While taking an exam, one of the students asks for extended time because it is mandated by her IEP. Mr. G. argues that the student is using the IEP as a crutch. Mr. G. explains that the student should just work harder or get moved to the special room with all of the other "short bussers". The student complains to her parents who request a conference with the principal.

A) Did the teacher's conduct reflect overt or inadvertent bias?

Define the terms overt bias and inadvertent bias, then explain your response why Mr G is overt bias  and why Mr E is inadvertent bias
