SEED Summer Staff Member Christopher Avery was selected as one of the 10 finalists for the 2014 Teaching Tolerance Award for Excellence in Teaching.

SEED Staff Member Judy Logan, a middle school teacher of English and social studies in San Francisco and the author of Teaching Stories, here shares the story of being an ally to LGBT students in her school. She writes about the initially negative response to her putting up a pink triangle to indicate she was someone students could turn to about LGBT matters, and how she then worked constructively with other faculty and students to create a more welcoming environment.

SEED leader and school librarian Debra Cardone explains how SEED helped her build a library collection "for the entire school community, to reflect the diversity there."
