Resources for Selecting Diverse Texts, Implementing Service Learning
Teaching Tolerance recently released Reading Diversity: A Tool for Selecting Diverse Texts. This tool can help educators navigate through text that can be selected for diversity and cultural representation. The organization also maintains a resource page (Do Something) outlining service learning projects for Kindergarten to twelfth grade. Their recently added activity; “Be the Change” is a resource to assist 6th – 12th grade youth programs and students implement service learning projects to address issues of prejudice. Resources include information on how to take service learning “beyond the can drive” as well as planning guides and student resources.
