Race Dialogues: A Facilitator's Guide to Tackling the Elephant in the Classroom
Kaplowitz, Donna Rich; Griffin, Shayla Reese; Seyka, Sheri
Teachers College Press
All too often, race discourse in the United States devolves into shouting matches, silence, or violence, all of which are mirrored in today's classrooms. This book will help individuals develop the skills needed to facilitate difficult dialogues across race in high school and college classrooms, in teacher professional learning communities, and beyond. The authors codify best practices in race dialogue facilitation by drawing on decades of research and examples from their own practices. They share their mistakes and hard-earned lessons to help readers avoid common pitfalls. Through their concrete lesson plans and hands-on material, both experienced and novice facilitators can immediately use this inclusive and wide-ranging curriculum in a variety of classrooms, work spaces, and organizations with diverse participants. The book features: (1) Specific instruction on how to facilitate dialogues in a way that promotes deep understanding, empathy, and collaboration across different racial identities; (2) Comprehensive plans for sequenced and sustained dialogue sessions for a variety of audiences; and (3) Methods for administrators, teachers, community leaders, and facilitators to approach resistant communities.
