Since the Klamath Basin Water Crisis of 2001 and the 9/11/2001 attack on the World Trade Center, Educational Solutions has worked to develop ways to prepare students to move beyond polarization and to solve conflicts. 

Our mission has been to complement traditional learning by providing balanced material for students and citizens to learn about and discuss challenging issues that divide communities and nations. 

Sometimes the material represents different stakeholder perspectives on a contentious issue.  Students can have the opportunity learn conflict resolution techniques and discuss issues with students from different stakeholder communities.  Sometimes our material introduces science research projects that may help solve a problem underlying a conflict. 

ES has developed and tested educational materials that present balanced information, relevant science, and conflict resolution practices to prepare high school and university students to address divisive issues.
