Conflict resolution education (CRE) grew out of several parallel efforts: integrating social justice into schools, concerns about safety and youth violence, and desires to enhance responsible citizenship. Today, CRE encompasses, or is a component of, a broad range of initiatives in schools: violence prevention programs, diversity and tolerance programs, law-related education, citizenship or civic education, peer mediation programs, and whole school change efforts. Despite this enormous educational opportunity, many high schools lack the mandate and the tools to teach such skills. This is true even in academic disciplines where issues of intergroup conflict are most directly addressed: history and social studies. The Workable Peace curriculum aims to teach general concepts and skills of conflict analysis and management in the context of historical and current events selected for relevance to high school social studies and history curricula. The Workable Peace curriculum is a model for discussing what students can learn about conflict, how they can learn it, and the difference this can make. The Workable Peace curriculum has three main components: a conceptual framework, historical role plays, and civic learning projects that relate directly to students' lives.
