Teaching Tolerance, a magazine and website for schools and educators

I have one hard-copy issue of the Teaching Tolerance magazine (which led me to the website), and I have devoured it cover to cover on many an occasion. It has so many lesson ideas, activities, topical articles, and freebies, all centered around teaching equity and promoting it in schools. I particularly appreciate its features including LGBT youth and pragmatic anti-bullying pieces. In my hard copy, there's a feature called "Activity Exchange" a collection of "great anti-bias ideas and activities from teachers everywhere" (Teaching Tolerance, Spring 2013, p.15). It has my mind whirling with ideas!

February is an excellent month to teach about love and tolerance, and to take our civil rights discussion to another level. In my class, this could be the perfect opportunity to turn our eye from social injustices of the past to those of our very immediate words around us.
