Resources to Create Inclusive, Community-Minded Campuses of Care
Effective staff bias training needs to focus on both programs to prevent bias incidents and the necessary steps for a quick response when an incident occurs.
An incident of bias can disrupt your campus and be devastating for those targeted, raising concerns about safety, well-being and belonging. When a campus incident takes place, much of the response happens in the first day to a week afterward, requiring that staff be ready to respond quickly. That’s why it’s so crucial that staff are trained on how to respond effectively when a bias incident occurs.
Bias response, however, is only one part of the equation. Staff members require training to make bias prevention part of their daily work. These include proactive strategies to help prevent bias situations from occurring, such as…
- Programming
- Hosting intergroup dialogues
- Becoming empathetic listeners
- Integrating inclusion into departmental practices
- Addressing bias-related issues
- Taking a hard look at their own biases
The need for quality how-to awareness and action is behind Campus Bias Prevention and Response Training: Strategies to Create Inclusive, Community-Minded Campuses of Care. This 80-page guide is filled with bias prevention and response fact sheets, worksheets, activities, discussion prompts, self-work and case studies to help train campus community members.
It also spotlights how other institutions are conducting their bias prevention and response training programs, plus effective programs engaging today’s students. Additional resources and sample training agendas using the provided tools are also included.
