The Association of Educational Publishers today honored Teaching Tolerance with a slew of Distinguished Achievement Award nominations, as well as designating its Rhinos and Raspberries: Tolerance Tales for the Early Grades kit as a finalist for the Golden Lamp, the highest honor.
The AEP Awards are the most prestigious honors in the field of educational publishing. Entries are first reviewed by screening judges, with a final judging panel then selecting up to four finalists per category. Judges are chosen from a national pool of educational publishing professionals, including writers, editors, designers, educators, curriculum specialists, product developers and marketing directors.
"Reaching the final four in the AEP Awards is no small feat," said Jennifer Holladay, interim director of the Southern Poverty Law Center's Teaching Tolerance program. "We are honored that our peers in educational publishing have honored our contributions with these nominations."
Teaching Tolerance's 2007 nominees include Teaching Tolerance magazine for periodical-of-the-year; Juliette Hampton Morgon: "A White Woman Who Understood", produced in partnership with the Civil Rights Memorial Center, for teacher professional development; and, of course, the Golden Lamp nomination for Rhinos and Raspberries.
In 2006, Teaching Tolerance magazine won Distinguished Achievement Awards both as most improved publication and periodical-of-the-year.
