Education in elementary schools (SD) has a strategic role in shaping students' character, especially in instilling the values of religious tolerance and moderation. Teachers, as the main agents in the education process, play an important role in internalizing these values through a contextual, integrative, and sustainable learning approach. This article discusses the role of teachers in instilling religious tolerance and moderation through teaching strategies, habituation, role models, and extracurricular activities. Based on literature studies, this article identifies effective approaches used by teachers, challenges faced, and implications for education policy in supporting the formation of moderate and tolerant attitudes in elementary school students. This study emphasizes that teachers not only act as teachers, but also as facilitators, guides, and role models in shaping students' character that is inclusive and respects diversity.
