Lessons in Tolerance and Diversity provides you with valuable tools for reducing racial, religious, ethnic and social prejudice and promoting tolerance and the celebration of diversity. Help your students better understand the roots of stereotyping and prejudice while examining some of the influences that form their own ideas about race, disabilities and other differences. The lessons help your students counter influences that lead to fear and exclusion of others by helping them to develop self-awareness, esteem for self and others, communication and conflict management skills, and capacities for independent judgment, critical thinking and ethical reasoning. Students share their ideas, beliefs and perspectives, and interact with others who may or may not share their points of view. Out of this interaction they learn to withhold judgment, question their own ideas, exercise flexibility and embrace the richness of diversity. This is a must-have guide for all who want to encourage tolerant attitudes among young people. Includes high interest activities, stimulating discussions and reproducibles.
A successful education inspires young people to develop positive attitudes, to work at understanding and respecting themselves and others, to learn to make sound decisions, to solve simple and complex problems, to develop resilient, renewable motivation and to transform their dreams into goals.
