Workshop for Educators: Teaching Tolerance
Tolerance-the willingness to respect or accept the customs, beliefs, or opinions of others-has become a focus in schools that are determined to protect students from bullying, taunting, and belittling. What is needed to help students learn to be accepting and respectful team players and protective leaders? This workshop addresses the question through drama strategies that build collaboration and respect in the classroom and result in teambuilding and the development of problem solving skills.
STACEY COATES is an educational and diversity specialist as well as a dramatist. She presents workshops for the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the Washington Performing Arts Society, and Interact Theatre in Washington, DC. As part of a commemoration of 9/ll, Ms. Coates was sent to India by the State Department in October 2002, where she presented Teaching Tolerance workshops and residencies to teachers and students from many different school systems.
