Dear Friends,

This free virtual telesummit features inspiring wisdom and leadership from the field of Restorative Justice and Social & Emotional Learning in schools. It will explore bringing these critical life skills into school communities.

Sign-up today for this free Teaching Peace in Schools telesummit! Link to: www.peacealliance.org/TeachPeaceSummit

Imagine: New generations of youth learning these essential building blocks of a
lasting peace, moving into adulthood with these skills. Imagine what their lives and our planet would look like. It could change our world!

This Summit will feature some of our nation and world’s leading thinkers and practitioners in the fields of building peace in schools, including: Congressman Tim Ryan, Dominic Barter, Camisha Fatimah Gentry and more.

If you are a parent, a teacher, a school administrator, or a passionate community member who wants to see peace skills embedded in our culture, then this free Summit is for you!

YES! Register me to participate live or receive the recording. Link to: www.peacealliance.org/TeachPeaceSummit

You can join this free summit, live via phone or webcast or listen to a recording, to learn practical examples and methods that can be brought into our schools to improve our children’s lives, setting them up for success not just academically, but also relationally and emotionally.

We will also explore what we can do collectively, and you can do specifically, to bring peace into our schools. Whether you are in the United States or anywhere on the globe, there will be valuable information for you.

Why is this important? Schools are our main social vehicle for learning. While the primary focus of teaching in schools is predominantly on academic skills — social, emotional and relational skills are equally important, and deserve FAR greater emphasis than they currently receive. We face conflict and sometimes violence at almost every stage and in every area of our lives. In fact, conflict that is not dealt with effectively can be one of the biggest detriments to success both in school and beyond.

As a baseline for lasting success, focal areas in this summit include:

Restorative Justice & Circle Practices
Mindfulness Practices in Schools
Social & Emotional Learning Skills and
Nonviolent Communication.

There are schools across the nation and world that find by implementing one or more of these practices, the climate of the school begins to significantly shift:

Conflict and violence drop substantially
Emotional well-being rises
Bullying is reduced
Truancy goes down and
Grade point averages rise.

Teaching Social and Emotional Learning skills in schools is an exciting and powerful new field. join us and learn how this work can make a profound difference in our children’s lives and on our planet.

In Peace,
Signature
