This weeks resource highlight is Teaching Tolerance ! This site is a great source for all teachers, however, I think it is most suited to social studies teachers because some of the subjects we have to teach can be very complicated and sensitive. Please ignore the eye rolls - I very much need to work on the faces I make when I'm thinking!
Georganna -- great resource! I think this website is great for creating community in all classrooms. I think this is key for math classrooms because it helps to create open honest community in our classrooms and for our students, where they can share their ideas openly and freely. This is important because it brings in life lessons that teach our students to be accepting of our differences versus being judgemental of each other or using our biases against one another. Teaching for social justice I feel like has been overlooked in my past educational career and I truly believe that part of our job as teachers is to create students whom are conscious of their neighbors and alternate points of view. It is our job to create activist students who stand with others against adversity just as we as teachers are entrusted to do.
