Step 2: Evaluating and Selecting Reference Texts and Resources for Your Course
This step includes considerations for evaluating and selecting texts and other resources for the course.
| Criteria | Tools to Guide You |
|---|---|
| Consider the context of the class that will be engaging with the material and if your materials are representative of learners. Resources such as videos, slides, podcasts, games, images, textbooks should include diverse representations of people from racialized groups including Indigenous, Black and Asian, as well as other ethnicities
Anti-racism curriculum review (secondary): Review your whole curriculum for anti-racism and inclusivity, so you can pinpoint where the weaknesses or gaps are and take steps to address them |
TOOL: Anti-Racist Presentation Design
TOOL: Intersectionality of Race and Disability Anti-Racist Pedagogy (in Critical Theory Paradigm) The Anti-Racist Discussion Pedagogy [PDF]: An introductory guide to building an anti-racist pedagogy in any discipline through instructor reflection, clear communication guidelines, and inquiry-based discussion |
| Analyze author’s bias and consider power dynamics in your choice of curriculum resources | TOOL: Developing and Using Representative Reading Lists |
| Consider using OERs (Open Education Resources), which are free resources for learners making them more accessible. OERs can also promote representation and can empower the co-creation of knowledge | TOOL: How OERs Support Anti-Racist Pedagogy & Resources at KPU |
