Middle School Teacher Selected as 2024 Peace Teacher
Lisa Dwinal, Middle School faculty member, is one of 26 educators from across the country, and the only teacher from Texas, to be accepted into the 2024 Peace Teachers program at the United States Institute of Peace.
USIP's Peace Teachers program is a virtual professional development opportunity for middle and high school educators who are committed to educating youth on international peace and the resolution of violent conflicts. The 2024 Peace Teachers program will help teachers develop a foundational understanding of the American approach to peace and discover new ways to integrate this theme into their subject area. Previous Peace Teachers report that following their participation in the Peace Teachers Program, their students demonstrated a deeper understanding of the complexity of global conflict and of the ways in which peace can be generated in a violent world.
