Reaching High School Students

High school teachers play leadership roles in helping identify conflict and managing student dynamics in and out of the classroom. Through new courses on CT and social change, new fellowships to expand the reach of teacher training, and new investment in the NextGen network, Pillar I seeks to equip high school students with civic skills to understand and address the conflicts that arise in a diverse society.
