Education Overview
Situated at Teachers College, a top-ranked graduate school of education, the ICCCR is recognized for educational excellence. We offer a wide range of courses for scholar-practitioners in the areas of cooperation, conflict resolution, dynamical systems, and social justice. We develop and provide state-of-the-art instruction, training, and professional development for students, practitioners, educators, and organizational leaders.
We continue to generate additional opportunities for our external educational work with non-profit organizations, agencies, and communities nationally and internationally. The ICCCR is committed to building relationships with a variety of organizations to allow students to gain practical experience. We provide a bridge between the academic community and experienced practitioners as we support and encourage a reflective scholar-practitioner model.
