Essential Partners works with educators, school leaders, students, parents, and community members to foster openness, courage, and compassion—in the classroom, across the school, and in the wider community.

Our research-based approach effectively disrupts polarization without asking anyone to compromise their values or identities. It develops mutual trust and understanding as well as new relationships across differences of values, beliefs, and identities.

"EP's approach allows all the students in the room to speak and be heard,” said one teacher, “to think about different perspectives on the issue without getting into arguments or fights.” 

Whether you're a teacher who wants to lead healthier classroom discussions or a principal hoping to build a resilient, cohesive school culture, we can help. Fill out the form below to schedule a conversation with one of our expert practitioners.
