Preventing and Countering School-Based Harassment: A Resource Guide for K–12 Educators—This revised edition of Preventing and Countering School-Based Harassment is the result of two conferences on racial harassment and many training-of-trainer administrator workshops conducted by NWREL’s Equity Center, where the interconnectedness of racial and sexual harassment issues was made clear by educators in the field. Although national attention has focused separately on the issues of racial harassment and sexual harassment, these conferences underscored that where one type of harassment occurs, the opportunity exists for all types of harassment.
