Appreciating Diversity

Catalog description

This course is designed to help teachers create a climate of "emotional safety" within their classrooms. The course content is built around the video series, "Talking Tolerance." The series includes three different elements: Nine individual segments that address topics such as bullying, racial discrimination; cliques, and media influences on behavior; a parent video that examines the parents' role in addressing concerns expressed by students; and a teacher video that presents ideas about the teachers' role in creating an emotionally safe school environment.
