Before designing and delivering presentations to learners, review and follow these tips:

• Consider your audience and the visible and invisible racialized and/or marginalized groups they may belong to and experience intersectionality with
• Ensure that your images do not rely on stereotypes, bias, or prejudices, by showing one image for diversity, or one race over another, or skewing the way our learners will understand or group people
• Use human illustrations representing people of different races, including Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC)
• Consider how people are represented in your images or language. Consider who is represented and who is missing. Ensure that diverse learners are well represented in the images they see displayed
• Consider the way in which you present your lessons and materials – is it from specific framework or perspective, or does it incorporate a variety of learning styles inclusive of diverse cultures and ways of learning?
• Use gender-neutral language, which may include gender-neutral pronouns in some cases, e.g., “they,” “them,” or “their”
• Check whether the content makes assumptions from a dominant or single point of view
• Check whether the content includes perspectives from racialized and/or marginalized voices
• Avoid the use of words, including microaggressions, that may be potentially exclusive or hurtful to people
• Remember that your interests, stories, and pop culture references are not universal – do not assume that every student relates to them, or will find them appropriate or inclusive
• Avoid using generalizing statements like “we” or “Indigenous People” to inaccurately make attributions or references to a group or population (stereotypes)
• Provide anti-racist and anti-oppressive resources to learners so that they can expand their own worldview. Resources should include a diverse repository of authors, especially from racialized and marginalized groups (i.e., BIPOC)
