13:49Now PlayingToday’s world can seem overwhelming and disheartening to students. As violent actions and negative rhetoric dominate our headlines, many young people are left feeling disempowered. Teachers play an important role in helping their students make sense of the world around them and the conflict they see, and in sharing knowledge and skills that help them understand that this is not inevitable and that they can have a positive role to play. At the same time, many teachers are themselves challenged by the complexities they seek to explain, as well as by limitations of time and curricular restrictions.
Discover how USIP’s 2016 Peace Teacher Rhonda Scullark integrated global peacebuilding concepts and skills into her classroom over the course of a school year, the challenges she faced, the highs and lows she encountered, and the ultimate impact she had.
