Resource Blog #4

Being a teacher comes with a limited budget. Having to find, print and learn lessons can be expensive. Finding free resources is a great tool to have as well as letting other people use it. 

Teaching Tolerance is a great resource for teachers. It is a social studies resource. Teaching Tolerance gives updates on current news as well as also having classroom resources for teachers. When you drop down under the classroom resources section tab, lessons, learning plans, student text, student tasks, teaching strategies and many more come up. The lesson can be searched by specific lesson topics. Another option is a more specific search. You can search by grade level, subject, social justice domain or by topic. This would be a great resource for teachers because it is a free and detailed resource. If you click on a topic it will give you related resources, like texts and worksheets. Being a social studies teacher, I could see myself using this resource in my classroom because of the easy access and easy use of the website. 

This resource is specifically limited social studies, so it would not be useful to other teachers. However, if a teacher were to get certified to teach social studies, it would be a great tool for them as well.
