The
integration of conflict resolution content
into the regular secondary curriculum is becoming
more common as evidenced by initiatives such
as the National
Curriculum Integration Project. Preparing
teachers to effectively use these materials
is an important part of this work.
Helping
to meet this need, the Ford
Foundation has recently awarded Rutgers
University a $400,000 grant to support their
teacher training
program efforts to more fully integrate conflict-resolution
skills into history curriculums for middle
school and
high school.
