In this lesson students research and analyze the causes of poverty. Through practical analogies they are encouraged to empathize with the tough choices facing low-income families. Then they think deeply about the role society should play in ending poverty.
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.
