Teaching Tolerance

Increasing staff awareness of diversity and tolerance issues is an essential part of a comprehensive approach to creating a positive multicultural school climate. In approaching such staff development these elements are important.

• Strive for continuity involving  staff with an interest in equity issues in the planning process.
• Provide training to all building staff
• Be sensitive to the position of minority staff
• Seek outside experts for assistance
• Acknowledge that dialogue about diversity and tolerance is an ongoing process
