• how to define tolerance
• how to analyse their own and others' tolerance
• where they might need to demonstrate tolerance
• signs of tolerance
• signs of intolerance
• what can affect tolerance
• self-awareness of their own tolerance
• actionable steps to develop tolerance
In order to ensure these important skills can be integrated into our busy timetables, this resource has been designed to make it as easy to deliver as possible! It includes a structured PowerPoint that guides the class through discussions about tolerance and effective skills on how to be tolerant towards others. No prior knowledge or experience from you is required! On top of this, the PowerPoint text is editable so you can modify the content to suit your students’ needs, should you wish.
