Abstract
This pilot study validated the ACSES–Bias Teacher Survey across six bias subscales using data from 136 preschool educators. Item response theory and logistic regressions assessed endorsement patterns. Video-coded equitable teaching practices showed that lower bias endorsements corresponded with more equitable behaviors, supporting the survey’s utility for linking bias to practice.
