Peace Education I takes a look at Maria Montessori's vision of peace and how we can begin to achieve a peaceful existence for ourselves and the children that we parent or teach. This course offers such information as Power Point presentations in conflict resolution, audio downloads featuring peace-promoting song, inspirational and thought-provoking links, as well as .pdf files that can be used as peace-promoting tools in a classroom or homeschooling environment. Best of all, the discussion board within the course site promotes frank and introspective discussion regarding peace and spirituality in education that results in a warm sense of community and peer support.
Peace Education I may be taken concurrently with Album-Building courses for diploma-seeking students. Peace education covers such topics as Maria Montessori and her vision of peace and harmony; the preparation of the teacher as part of a peaceful, prepared environment; creating harmony in the classroom; helping children find their peace; teaching children conflict resolution skills; and spreading peace among your adult colleagues.
The Course Textbook which is utilized for Peace I is: Maria Montessori: Her Life and Work by E. M. Standing and is provided with your enrolment.
