Venette Cook and Nancy Husari (CCSF ESL instructors) created the Lessons in Tolerance website. The site is intended as a resource for teachers to get lesson plans on subjects related to tolerance. It's also a place for students to express themselves on this issue. In other words, THE LESSONS IN TOLERANCE WEBSITE IS YOUR WEBSITE! Do you have any ideas for things that you would like to see on this website?

American
Studies Web
http://www.georgetown.edu/crossroads/asw/
This website is like a search engine that covers
many topics related to American Studes. Some of the topics are more
relevant to multiculturalism than other, but it's a very interesting and
worthwhile website to look at.
Multicultural
Pavillion

This is a very rich resource with a variety of
topics to choose from. If you are a student, you may have to search through
many resources for teachers, but it's worth the search. In particular,
the link below is recommended:

links don't work, but if you are interested in South Africa, there are
other active links here to other websites.
