Conflict Resolution Education in Teacher Education

In-kind contribution provided by Temple University’s College of Education

CRETE trains pre-service and in-service teachers and helps teacher education programs infuse conflict resolution education within the pre-service curriculum to enhance new teachers’ classroom management skills. CRETE is funded by the United States Department of Education (FIPSE Project P116B040920), JAMS Foundation, George Gund Foundation and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation.17

Through a partnership formed in fall 2008, with Temple University in Philadelphia, Pa., several full-day workshops known as CRETE (Conflict Resolution Education in Teacher Education) were hosted for Roosevelt’s College of Education faculty and administrative personnel by the Office of Community Engagement (OCE). These workshops help participants understand conflict resolution education and provide an opportunity to learn and reinforce conflict and classroom management skills in College of Education required courses. An additional four-day CRETE training workshop for Roosevelt’s pre-service teachers was held in August 2010.
