Anti-Racism Educator and Community Collections
Highlighting one collection from our Racial Justice Resources that offers a place to begin the journey.
About
Sometimes an educator looks at a topic and the wealth of information in front of them and thinks about the long journey ahead. A journey is composed of many steps and these collections offer both a broad overview and a roadmap for that journey. There are four Google Doc Collections that have been shared widely by educators and that we chose to add to our Racial Justice Resource Collection. While all are listed and described below, we chose to highlight one of them in our initial Racial Justice Newsletter.
- Scaffolding Anti-Racism Resources has an assortment of important steps that are laid out by a group of racial justice educators.
- One resource within this document, the RACE IAT (Implicit Association Test), helps us find out where we fit into the larger community, by examining our own implicit biases in an online test.
- The test is based on the book Blindspot: Hidden Biases of Good People and part of Harvard's Project Implicit.
The fours Independent Google Doc collections are:
- Scaffolding Anti-Racism Resources (highlighted above)
A thoughtful resource list that scaffolds anti-racism resources for white people and provides a framework for white identity recognition and development. It includes Stages, Resources, and What To Do Next. Author credits are listed within.
- Anti-Racism Resources: Compiled by Sarah Sophie Flicker and Alyssa Klei.
This is particularly useful as a curated list of diverse media (appropriate for high school+).
