Bias Resources
Tips to counter bias while scoring:
- Focus on the criterion. Remember all applications you are reviewing are eligible.
- Reread or re-listen to apps before assuming information is missing
- Truly look at content NOT how elegant the sentences were crafted.
- Consider changing arts with creative or maker to counteract our preconceived notions of what art is or should be.
- Pace yourself! You have a full 4 weeks to review these. Set a weekly or even daily goal to keep yourself accountable.
