Very good planning guide for establishing effective dialogue on very divisive issues. This document provides a comprehensive approach to fostering engaging dialogue on some very divisive topics, esp. (terriorism, inter-faith, war, etc.) and can be adapted for many others. It's an excellent facilitation resource. There's less emphasis on helping people manage the ideas after the dialogue, but lots of tips on pre-dialogue work.

Very good resource to discuss and plan for creating student success through a racial equity lens. This is a very good disucssion guide focusing on student achievement in schools through a racial equity lens. There are a lot of exercises to build trust among the participants, help them explore racial dynamics facing their particular school and provide opportunity to explore how race impacts us in a broader sense. In that vein, it does an excellent job of putting difficult issues on the table through very innovatice techniques. It is somewhat less focused on using the traditional "critical mass" approach at the end of the dialouges where a lot of people present their action plans to the entire community, in contrast to only the school community.

While it is not a stand alone piece, it is a powerful resource that meets a unique demand. This companion to the racial equity guide does a very good job of helping racial and ethnic groups grapple and deal with issues that often are unique to their individual and group experiences; while at the same time focusing them outwardly to explore where and how change can happen through building true power-sharing partnerships and collaborations.

This guide does an excellent job of framing the conversation about race and racism in terms that allows for multi-racial groups and ethnicities to find a place in the conversation without alienating the experiences between blacks and whites in this country. The fact that it couches the challenges of various groups in terms of "equity" opens the door for broader participation and more creative solutions to those challenges.

Extremely useful tool for bridging a divide and building democratic policing in our communities. This guide is extremely useful as a mechanism to build trust, understanding and new ways of interacting between residents and police, especiallywhere little trust or mutual respect exist. In addition to developing a more personal respectful relationship, it helps communities envision what policing should mean to them and pushes the participants (police members and residents) to develop a concrete plan of action that works for their community.
