Teacher Resources
1. Teaching Tolerance:
Having sensitive multicultural conversations with students where we must confront problems, challenges, disagreements, and perhaps dissent, it is important to set a framework for these conversations. Teaching Tolerance is a great resource. One such lesson can be found at: http://www.tolerance.org/lesson/my-multicultural-self. There are also links to other great resources for having these conversations in your classroom in a safe, successful way.
