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.
