Who We Are

We are a partnership of prominent faculty at Making Caring Common, a project of the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE), the University of Nebraska—Lincoln (UNL) and seasoned educational training professionals at Career Training Concepts (CTC) who have come together to create HEAR – Helping Everyone Achieve Respect. HEAR is a series of research-based bullying prevention presentations designed to engage today’s youth on what constitutes bullying, its consequences, and how they can help minimize bullying in their school environment.
