As
a volunteer, you teach a pre-written, 13-session curriculum full of games,
discussions, role-plays, and out-of-the-seat activities.
You
and your partner become the teachers in the classroom, working with one
sixth grade class for the entire program. You lead them in learning
about conflict, cooperation, communication, respecting different perspectives,
overcoming stereotypes, and preventing violence.
The
curriculum can be followed closely or adjusted to incorporate your own
ideas. Before each class you meet with your co-teacher to discuss
how you would like to approach the lesson.
At
the end of the program your class develops their own Peace Game, using
their new knowledge and conflict resolution skills. The class presents
their game at the Peace by P.E.A.C.E. Festival.
Being
a Peace by P.E.A.C.E. teacher is truly a rewarding experience.
