Mod 17 Discussion: Culturally Responsive Teaching

Resource:

Teaching Tolerance: http://www.tolerance.org/?source=redirect&url=teachingtolerance

This website was a very user friendly and inter active site for teachers.   It had an abundence of lessons, curricular resources, and links to add ons.  This was extremely culturally friendly and lessons identify the key topics to how they connect to culture, cultural sensitivity, acceptance/tolerance for all, etc.  To any teacher or educator that has the capacity within their school/district dynamics or as well for families or community outreach programs, I would recommend this site for all aspects of teaching and promoting tolerance for all.  Currently in my district, there are restrictions and limitations to what can/can't be taught so unfortunetly I would not be able to directly use this for student purposes.  However a good resource to further educate myself and find ways to adapt the material so indirectly it could be facilitated when and where appropriate based on district guideline/instructional parameters.
