Teaching Diverse Students Initiative
Posted by on August 24, 2009
Helping educators improve learning in diverse classrooms
As part of an effort to improve the teaching of students of color, the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Teaching Tolerance program has launched a new online initiative. The Teaching Diverse Students Initiative (TDSi) offers interactive multimedia tools to help educators improve learning opportunities and outcomes for racially and ethnically diverse students. TDSi is the first set of professional development tools specifically designed to improve teaching practices and school conditions that, while important for all students, are especially productive for students of color. TDSi’s resources include learning activities, case studies, video of effective practice, reports and articles, and video commentary by leading researchers. School districts interested in working with TDSi should contact Michelle Garcia at TDSI@tolerance.org. The research-based tools of TDSi are available free of charge.
