Abstract

The evaluation of instructional materials for the detection of sexism and racism has become one of the imperatives of today’s education. Many instructional materials in current use do not yet meet the essential needs of the minority and/or female student nor have they kept pace with a changing society. This essay provides guidelines and checklists for the evaluation of sexism and racism, as well as strategies for increasing awareness in the teaching-learning process to help counteract these biases. It is particularly appropriate that those in bilingual education programs be sensitive to these issues.
