Teaching Tolerance

My item of interest is a website called Teaching Tolerance which provides resources and tools to help schools address equity within the building and gives articles and supports around current issues.  I choose this website because it can be filtered down by different categories such as: race and ethnicity, religion, ability, sexuality, class, immigration, bullying, and activism.  You can also find information and curriculum around SEL in the classrooms and how to incorporate that into your schools.  There are many free resources and the ask is for only a donation if one is able. 

There are many other resources beyond articles, including lesson plans and posters.  I like the lesson plans because they can be filtered down by the above categories and also by grade ranging from kindergarten all the way through grade 12. There are text for students and text for educators.  You can also subscribe to get articles sent to your email that are appropriate for what is currently going on.  For example, there was an article about how to speak with students about being mindful about Halloween costumes and why that is important.  There are currently articles about Thanksgiving and what that actually means for Indigenous Persons in America.

The website is located at www.tolerance.org
