Teaching Tolerance Magazine

Issue 62, Summer 2019
Cover of the Summer 2019 Issue of 'Teaching Tolerance' Magazine, featuring an illustrated lighthouse whose lights are comprised of hashtag symbols.

For this issue’s cover story, TT Senior Writer Cory Collins caught up with some of our Twitter and Instagram favorites to talk about the ways educators of color are building community online. In “Educators and Their #Community: Finding Solidarity on Social Media,” learn how these dedicated educators are carving out PD spaces that speak to their concerns—especially when traditional, white-centered spaces don’t want to go there.

But don’t stop there. Read on for stories about how educators are using podcasts in their classrooms and how a viral Instagram challenge got people reflecting on white supremacy. Or learn about the offline world—like what we really need to understand about trauma-informed pedagogy, how one school managed to disassemble student tracking, what Robin DiAngelo has to say about white fragility, and how you can try process drama in your class to encourage inquiry and student investment.

Whatever strikes you in this issue, we’re glad you’re a part of our community. Subscribe today, and never miss a story.

When Schools Cause Trauma

Trauma-sensitive and trauma-informed schools are spreading around the country. But if they don’t start with how schools themselves can induce trauma, they won’t work.

Teaching Stonewall

Stonewall’s history remains largely forgotten—and unknown among young people. In the cultural imagination, it remains shrouded in myth. But the true Stonewall story can be taught. Here’s how—and why.
