In 1991, Teaching Tolerance began supporting the efforts of K-12 teachers and other educators to promote respect for differences and an appreciation of diversity.

As part of its mandate, Teaching Tolerance publishes a semiannual self-titled magazine that profiles educators, schools and programs promoting diversity and equity in replicable ways. In addition, the program produces and distributes free, high-quality anti-bias multimedia kits.

At Teaching Tolerance's website, teachingtolerance.org, visitors can find a wealth of resources, including:

• Teaching Tolerance magazine, including current and back issues;
• Ordering instructions for multimedia kits, handbooks, and the magazine;
• Web-exclusive features such as "Writing for Change," lessons that challenge bias in language;
• Classroom activities and resources, classified by subject and grade level; and
• Grant opportunities for K-12 educators developing anti-bias projects in their schools and communities.

Teaching Tolerance has earned accolades from a variety of organizations, including three Oscar nominations, one Academy Award, and more than 20 honors from the Educational Press Association of America – including the Golden Lamp Award, its highest honor. Most of all, Teaching Tolerance is proud to help educators bring tolerance into the classroom.
