Every Alabama Student Must Now Learn Conflict Resolution Before Graduating
In this episode, we break down Alabama's landmark SB364, a new law requiring every public school student to complete violence prevention, mediation, and conflict resolution training before they can earn a diploma. We cover what the law actually mandates, how it rolls out, and what the evidence says about whether these programs actually work. Plus — what this means for educators, mediators, and practitioners across the country who've been making this case for years.
