Strategies for responding effectively to bigoted words, jokes and slurs 
Guidelines for examining one’s own biases, attitudes and behaviors 
Suggestions for achieving bias-free communication 
Activities and curricular resources for educators 
Please circulate to others who may find these resources useful.
 
Thanks!
