Listed as a resource on this site, The Southern Poverty Law Center publishes a magazine for educators called, Teaching Tolerance. Without a doubt this is the most important publication I have used in the development of It's OK to be Different. I am therefore very proud that one of the lessons for the Be a Buddy - not a Bully program was featured in the latest edition. The lesson, "Toys and Clothes: Gender Expression" involves the reading of two books, William's Doll by Charlotte Zolotow and My Princess Boy by Cheryl Kilodavis.Each book involves the choice the characters make about a toy or something to wear. A description of the lesson is on an earlier post under, Perfect Duo.
I urge every educator and parent to subscribe to Teaching Tolerance. The best part is that it is FREE! You can reach their site from this blog.
