Reporting on their communities helps students recognize problems and find strategies for change. The communities we live in determine a good part of our lives. This is especially true for children, who are not able to move about as easily as some adults. Yet we rarely examine what constitutes community. Putting into words or pictures a concept so vital, so primal and so basic through the process of taking pictures, writing about community and asking for reflection allows students the opportunity to uncover common problems and find strategies to address them.
Teaching Tolerance is dedicated to reducing prejudice, improving intergroup relations and supporting equitable school experiences for our nation’s children. Our teaching materials have won two Oscars, an Emmy and more than 20 honors from the Association of Educational Publishers, including two Golden Lamp Awards, the industry’s highest honor. Scientific surveys demonstrate that our programs help students learn respect for differences and bolster teacher practice.
