Supporting Cross-Cultural Friendships | Teaching Tolerance - 0 views

  • One was the experience of working in small groups on class assignments. In fact, all three pairs identified group work as a crucial opportunity that allowed them to meet and get to know someone outside their typical circle of friends. Students also spoke about belonging to a community that honors diversity. Unlike the high school I attended, the school where I teach views diversity as an important component of students’ learning.

    I really liked the last comment by the writer. His kids are the same age as mine and I am thankful that mine were older before they had access to Facebook. But just the same we as educators need to know the good and the bad so we can help our students and their parents become better cyber citizens

Mapping Out a Get-to-Know-You Project | Teaching Tolerance - 1 views

  • Submitted by Sarah Anderson on July 11, 2012 Keywords: Stereotypes and bias One of the simplest ways to foster compassion and understanding in our classrooms is to give students opportunities to share stories about their lives. By communicating and listening, students can break down stereotypes and see each other as real people.
  • Celebrating diversity is not just about recognizing other cultures and ethnicities. It is also about acknowledging that we all have rich and complex stories with varied pasts and personal struggles. The more we know about each other’s lives, the easier it is to accept and understand.

Global Connections for Elementary Students - 3 views

  •  
    Simple Structures: The late Hilda Taba, noted social studies educator and curriculum developer, always emphasized that "kids need categories," or "pigeon-holes," if you will, into which they can fit new facts, concepts and ideas. Abundant learning theory supports this. The fact is that most teachers also appreciate having some simple structures with which to work.
  •  
    It took a bit of searching, but here are some elementary lessons to enhance student understandings of our global world. The homepage also has lessons geared for middle and high school students. Here is that link: http://www.globaled.org/curriculum3.html
