This site could be used by teachers as a baseline, to discover their own prejudices and learn hwo to avoid them BEFORE teaching their class. There are many different "quizzes" on the site which claim to measure your level of prejudice/knowledge of it. Then they offer links about how to deal with these issues in the classroom. This site is a good way for teachers to start thinking about these issues, and is a good resource of some of these issues come up in a classroom and he or she does not know how to deal with it.

This site is valuable because it gets teachers to consider the issue of pejudice in the classroom and offers them resources on dealing with this tricky issue. Because the site does not have lesson plans, per se, it could not be used for daily lessons in the class. However, the teacher could have the students look through the website and take some of the quizzes, and use this as a launching point for a discussion of these issues in his or her class. Therefore, this site could be an incredible valuable tool to teachers as a resource and as jumping-off point for a discussion on prejudice and other related issues.
