Welcome! This library guide presents selected resources on culturally responsive teaching including anti-racist practices for Highline College faculty, staff, and administration. Currently the guide is an ongoing collaboration between the Title III grant and the library. 

We welcome campus feedback and input at refhelp@highline.edu  

Originally the guide was meant to be a supplemental reading list to the Culturally Responsive Educators (CRE) training in Canvas. CRE Canvas course (link here). Canvas will prompt a login. If not previously enrolled, email Allison Green to be admitted to the course. 

The library has a related guide, Anti-Racist Resources LibGuide, with general resources on anti-racism.
