This is the second lesson of the series “Dealing with Dilemmas: Upstanders, Bystanders and Whistle-Blowers.” This lesson helps students identify and recognize modern-day American heroes—people who have made or are making a real difference in their communities. Students will research and learn how local movements become national ones through the activism and perseverance of upstanding individuals. The goal is to encourage activism and awareness and enable students to think about what they, as individuals, can do to make a difference in their own community.
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.
