In 1991, Teaching Tolerance began supporting the efforts of K-12 teachers and other educators to promote respect for differences and an appreciation of diversity.
As part of its mandate, Teaching Tolerance publishes a semiannual self-titled magazine that profiles educators, schools and programs promoting diversity and equity in replicable ways. In addition, the program produces and distributes free, high-quality anti-bias multimedia kits.
At Teaching Tolerance's website, teachingtolerance.org, visitors can find a wealth of resources, including:
- Teaching Tolerance magazine,
including current and back issues;
- Ordering instructions for
multimedia kits, handbooks, and the magazine;
- Web-exclusive features such
as "Writing for Change," lessons that challenge
bias in language;
- Classroom activities and resources,
classified by subject and grade level; and
- Grant opportunities for K-12
educators developing anti-bias projects in their schools
and communities.
Teaching Tolerance has earned accolades from a variety of organizations, including three Oscar nominations, two Academy Awards, and more than 20 honors from the Educational Press Association of America including the Golden Lamp Award, its highest honor. Most of all, Teaching Tolerance is proud to help educators bring tolerance into the classroom.
