Teaching Tolerance is a website with an extensive collection of activity plans, articles, and lesson plans to promote tolerance in the classroom. These resources are intended to prepare students for the diversity of the world outside and inside of their own communities. As their website states, "Teaching Tolerance is dedicated to reducing prejudice, improving intergroup relations and supporting equitable school experiences for our nation's children."

Teaching Tolerance can be used by educators to promote tolerance and cultural awareness in the classroom. There are lesson plans for any age group and the website is completely free, so all teachers should utilize this incredible resource in their classrooms. For example, there is lesson for 9th to 12th graders about the effects of immigration on the identity of the United States called "[|Changing Demographics: What Can We Do to Promote Respect?]" Another lesson, for 3rd through 4th grades, helps students "develop positive self-esteem and confidence [while] showing them how to be sensitive and empathetic to the identity expression of their peers" called "[|The Name Jar]."
