Teacher Comments on Conflict Resolution and U.S. History Materials:
Diana Allen
Eastside High School
Paterson, NJ
"The Conflict Resolution material provides a unique opportunity to make the teaching of history not only a study of the past but a way of examining the present as well. Students develop skills that enable them to
explore historical issues. They also develop useful skills that they can use in their everyday dealings with others. Students have a more hands-on experience. It encourages them to be more involved in their learning."
Tom Halbedl
Monmouth Regional High School
Eatontown, NJ
"The materials are excellent. Of great importance is the Facts Continued section that is used to conclude the lesson. The students learn how the conflict may have been avoided as well as what the real history was."
Beverly Jones
Trenton Central High School
Trenton, NJ
"The Conflict Resolution and U.S. History program is very useful, well accepted by students and encourages students to think critically. The materials make history come alive for the students."
Stephanie King
North Miami Senior High

"Students come to understand their part in events and their power to shape historical outcomes."
Mandee Bellarosa
Jonathan Dayton High School
Springfield, NJ
"The students enjoyed it as much as I did! The historical backgrounds gave them a basis of what we were studying while the role playing activities gave them someone they could make a connection with."
C. Todd Cummings
The Orchard School
Indianapolis, IN
"After my training, I had a much better idea how to set-up and facilitate a conflict resolution lesson. The seminar added depth and a chance to refresh my curriculum."
Barry A. Bachenheimer

"Students learn best when they are engaged in hands-on activities. The Conflict Resolution and U.S. History material and training are a wonderful supplement to any United States history program. The program challenges
students to think critically and have fun while learning."
