Teaching Website Recommendation

As I have reflected about my teaching practices, I can't help but think about several websites that I have found to be beneficial. Over the years I have taught Language Arts, Social Studies, and Drama classes. In each of these classes, I have managed to use lessons that have been posted on the Tolerance.org website. The website contains materials that are fairly impressive, and the themes are those that can't be ignored when teaching the students we have in our classrooms today and their interactions with others in the world. The Tolerance.Org website is an amazing wesite for teachers. The website is dedicated to promoting tolerance for all people and students we find in our classrooms and in society. Several videos can be requested for free from the website. These videos are amazing in content, visualization, and grab the attention of the students. My students have been mesmorized by the videos and the discussions we have had have been fascinating. The videos we have watched include: Mighty Times: The Legacy of Rosa Parks, Mighty Times: The Children's March, and America's Civil Rights Movement.
