Assignment: According to Maureen Costello, the director of Teaching Tolerance, we all have implicit biases. These implicit biases are unconscious and involuntary. Fortunately, Costello offers a solution concerning personal bias. She says, "We can mitigate them. We can interrupt them. You can train your mind to catch yourself. It's like breaking a habit, but the first thing you have to do is become aware of the habit" (Flannery, 2015). Biases regarding student's ability levels are common in special education and can result in expectations that fail to challenge or support a child' education. "Special education is the most heavily litigated area of school law. Parents and their children with disabilities have well-defined legal rights and clearly articulated procedural due-process rights. Consequently, the legal rights of children with disabilities should never be ignored out of expediency, personal bias, or ignorance" (Stader, 2013, p. 181).
