Avoiding Bias in Video Interviews Training

This short training provides common triggers for bias in video interviews, strategies for mitigating this bias, and prompts for discussion.

An equitable selection process is key to building strong, diverse teaching teams, so it’s important that selectors are trained in techniques to reduce their bias. Video interviews present unique challenges. This short training helps selectors reflect on their biases, shares strategies for avoiding them, and gives prompts for discussion. Use this training as a starting point for ongoing anti-bias and norming discussions among staffing teams.
