Darnell Fine - Teaching Tolerance Awards

Darnell Fine Atlanta Neighborhood Charter Middle School, Atlanta, Ga. As a child, Fine's household was labeled "chaotic," and Fine himself "a behavior problem." Today, his past struggles motivate him to "build on the knowledge students bring from home ... [and] emphasize meaningful connections to real-life contexts" in his classroom. In addition to serving on his school's diversity committee, Fine makes a point of building relationships with families. He acknowledges the value of his students' home cultures by hosting open forums, town hall meetings and Socratic seminars. "In my classroom," says Fine, "inclusion isn't limited to celebrating cultural differences... [I provide] spaces for [students] to express their multiple perspectives."
