Teacher Strong

Looking back on a year of unique and sometimes disheartening challenges, the Spring issue of Teaching Tolerance offers a reminder: We work in education for a reason.
 
See promise in the innocent wisdom offered to the new president as part of our #StudentsSpeak campaign. Join a veteran educator’s “revolution of hope.” Learn how to empower Muslim students, immigrants and refugee children.
 
Like the flourishing garden on the issue’s cover, these stories can grow hope and resolve in times when friendship, kindness and justice may be struggling to take root.
