Teaching Diverse Students Initiative

Teaching Diverse Students Initiative

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Teaching Tolerance, a project of  The Southern Poverty Law Center, recently launched a new effort entitled the  “Teaching Diverse Students Initiative.”  This is a very nicely designed site with researched-based tools and resources for teaching racially and ethnically diverse students.   Contributors to the site include Linda Darling-Hammond, Gloria Ladson-Billings, Sonia Nieto, Mica Pollock and others including a couple of my early literacy friends and colleagues, Dorothy Strickland and Patricia Edwards.

Follow the link below.  You need to register to check out the tools.  Its free.

I constantly am amazed at how prepared young people are to talk about race.  I recently had the privilege of talking with students in the Fast Trac College Bound program at Iowa City High School.  We are inviting these young leaders to contribute to this blog.  Stay tuned…!

This document provides background on Fas Trac, as well as information about how to support their efforts.

Welcome!

Welcome to West Wind Education Policy’s blog on Systemic Equity Leadership. We’ve set this space up primarily as a place to share links and thoughts with anyone we come into contact with through the work. We also will be posting links to handouts and readings we’ve shared here on the Resources page. Please feel free to poke around as you like!
