Teaching Tolerance couldn’t serve educators the way we do without the feedback and support of an important group of teachers, counselors, media specialists, school- and district-level administrators and education professors: the Teaching Tolerance Advisory Board. These educators and leaders volunteer their time to review our resources, try our curriculum and act as ambassadors for TT.
