Strategies for educators to counter their own unconscious biases in schools and classrooms.
The Harvard IAT uses underlying association in the test taker’s brain to measure implicit bias in a variety of categories. The first step to addressing implicit bias is recognizing it within ourselves, and the IAT Test is a useful, research-based tool that can serve as the initial step in this introspective journey.

Centering the Work is "a new online resource; a crowd-sourced arts education and social justice repository celebrating best practices, practitioners and projects from all over the country to serve as beacons, inspirations and support for expanding the work from the margins to the mainstream."
An organization dedicated to addressing the effects of race, racism, and discrimination by supporting youth and their caregivers through healthy conversations about race.
The P.R.I.D.E. initiative seeks to help Black children understand race and embrace their ethnicity and heritage. Under the "Educators" tab, there are multiple resources to aid caregivers in talking to children about race, and specifically incorporating anti-racism in early childhood education. We especially recommend the In My Skin podcast, which is a collection of stories from parents, scholars, artists and more, about how race impacted them as a child and how it continues to impact them today.
EmbraceRace is a website founded by a multiracial family with the goal of providing tools, resources, and discussion spaces for raising children who think critically about racial equality, as well as nurturing resilience in children of color and inclusion from all children. The website includes many resources for families, as well as information about joining webinars and discussions.
This Google Doc provides a checklist that can be used to critically evaluate any unit taught in a classroom. It poses questions that analyze the unit structure for its ability to incite conversations about race, equality, and systems of power. This document is a useful starting place for educators that want to look for and address the bias inherently present in their curriculum.
A digital venue that "provides a space for critical scholarship and rigorous debate with implications for how we think through the past, understand the present, and envision the future." This site includes individual publications (such as editorials), as well as Microsyllabi (under the "What We're Reading" tab) that offer lists of suggested readings by topic.
This project is currently working on building a list of Black authors, artists, albums, educational programs, businesses, nonprofits, and more. Its purpose is to use our collective resources to improve and advance our educational spaces. The website offers a form that allows you to share your own Black resource, if you wish to contribute.
