Dear Educator,

You made it! As another school year comes to a close, we want to take a moment to recognize the dedication and hard work you bring to your teaching every single day. Teaching the next generation about global affairs and our interconnected world is no small task, and you show up for it, year after year. I do hope you'll have a restful summer break.

While you recharge, we'll be doing our part to make CFR Education even better for the year ahead.

Have a great summer,

Caroline Netchvolodoff
Vice President, Education
Council on Foreign Relations

Website Update Coming This Summer

While you take some much-deserved downtime this summer, the CFR Education website will undergo some changes to improve the user interface and align with the look and feel of CFR.org.

But don’t worry, the mission and content will remain the same, and your links will not be affected.
