Abstract	As many interracial problems and issues are focused upon in the general society and in the education system, increasing numbers of counselors, educators, personnel workers, and the like, are being called upon to provide assistance. The Cultural Study Center at the UNIVERSITY OF Maryland, College Park, has developed an approach to working with racism in educational institutions which may prove useful to others attempting change in this area. The model is aimed primarily at changing whites or white oriented institutions. In order to demonstrate the model, the approach used in two different Maryland school systems is discussed and evaluated. One program was conducted for a large suburban system, with more than 160,000 students enrolled, which had had many racial incidents and problems over the years, and was expecting a court ordered desegregation plan to go into effect shortly after the conference was held. A two day conference for 91 key central office staff and supervisors was held. The second conference, lasting for two and one half days, was held for 36 principals, vice principals, and some central office staff of a small, primarily rural system with 17,000 students. This system was just beginning to have increasing numbers of blacks enrolled in their schools as a city's suburbs pushed outward, and had had the beginnings of relatively mild confrontations between blacks and whites.
