What is the Teaching Negotiation Resource Center?

Learn how the Teaching Negotiation Resource Center can help you explore best practices and new strategies for teaching negotiation.

One of the main purposes of the Teaching Negotiation Resource Center—a community of like-minded negotiation trainers and a storehouse of negotiation resources— is to help build knowledge among teachers and negotiation trainers who provide on-site or online training to students, business groups, or community clients.

To accomplish that, the Teaching Negotiation Resource Center offers a wide range of effective teaching materials, including

Most Teaching Negotiation Resource Center materials are designed for educational purposes— for use in college classrooms or corporate training settings. The cases and exercises help mediators and facilitators introduce their students to a process or issue and help individuals who want to enhance their negotiation skills.

And to make the process as easy as possible, the Teaching Negotiation Resource Center offers an advanced materials search feature allows you to find teaching materials based on nine different categories, including time required, number of parties, and the negotiation concepts you want to teach.

Additionally, the Teaching Negotiation Resource Center continues to add new role-play simulations, exercises, and tools. Many of the simulations emphasize the application of PON theories and teaching methods to emerging topic areas like transboundary water negotiations, climate change, joint ventures in the business world, and global treaty negotiations.

Our special report — Teaching Negotiation: Understanding the Impact of Role-Play Simulations – assembles three key articles originally published in Negotiation Briefings, the newsletter of the Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School. Get your copy today!
