Introduction
RCS interprets Human Rights Education and
Anti-Bias training and initiatives through the schema of the Continuum of Change--- Awareness, Knowledge, Attitudes and
Behaviors (the continuum can be applied to changes at the individual, organizational or systemic levels).
The Awareness and Knowledge stages are
focused on developing a readiness for positive change, whereas the Attitudes and Behavior stages are geared toward developing
skills and strategies that translate the understanding gained in the first two stages into action. The Attitudinal and Behavioral
stages also require support in order to increase and sustain positive change.
RCS’s training programs
always include 4 basic components:
Awareness: of learned
prejudices and fears about differences and how these impact organizational culture and professional and personal relationships
Knowledge: creating
a critical, deeper understanding of the issues of race, discrimination, equity and inclusion
Attitudes: developing
the necessary skills that integrates newfound and existing values and knowledge into the organization's mission and vision
Actions/Behavior:
to develop plans to implement the new knowledge, awareness and skills,
on both the individual and organizational levels
*
Each phase has a series of exercises, which allows participants
to experience some actual case studies. Embedded in our trainings are a series of ground rules which we live by, primarily,
to understand the difference between debate and dialogue, respect for each individual and a willingness to endeavor to make
positive change.
