Taking off from a Facebook discussion on US high school philosophy programs, I thought I would propose an open thread asking for comments and / or links to programs.
Here's a start, to PLATO (Philosophy Learning and Teaching Organization), and to the APA's committee on Pre-College Teaching, and to their page "So you want to teach pre-college philosophy?"
Teaching Philosophy currently has the contents of a recent issue on teaching philosophy in high schools available for free. Here’s the link: http://bit.ly/16O4P30. Thanks!

Between the national-level infrastructure and the fact that local high school teachers serve as head coaches, founding an HSEB regional seems like a great way for graduate students to create an outreach program that can outlive their time in graduate school.

The link to the website is currently down, but Mitch Green ran Project High-Phi from the University of Virginia from 2009-2013. I do not know if he’s continued working on it since he moved to UConn this year, but I imagine that he did.
