Course description: Schools are increasingly becoming the nexus for promoting social awareness, respect for differing perspectives and values, and an appreciation for diversity. Creating a space for critical conversations on tolerance, understanding, and mutual respect is incredibly important to foster civil dialogue and form future citizens with the capacity to empathize and critically think.

The purpose of this course is to understand what tolerance is and its application in current curriculum. Participants will critically analyze their current curriculum and reflect on how the infusion of tolerance can impact student social-emotional learning. Participants will also understand the intersections of privilege, multicultural education, and civil dialogue impact the success of tolerance in education. At the end of the course, participants will create an implementation plan to take their new learning back to their schools and classrooms.
