TBers,

When considering conversation in your classes about bias and discrimination one resource you might find useful is a website CRLT at the University of Michigan  developed with a set of materials on Responding to Difficult Moments:

A brief overview of strategies can be found in this blog post:

The site began with guidelines created in the wake of 9-11 and then updated for a variety of other purposes. It includes strategies for conversations that arise spontaneously, as well as advice for planning discussions proactively.
