IP 528 Peace Education II: Methodologies and Practical Application

This course will explore the methods teachers, counselors and conflict interventionists use to build a culture of peace in educational settings. Students will be required to investigate how these methods are applied in real world situations and learn how to evaluate their efficacy. Students will be assigned weekly readings containing peace education methods, case studies of practical application and theoretical framework of monitoring and evaluation of methods. Depending upon enrollment size, students will be assigned work groups where they will be required to respond to cohorts’ postings. Topics covered in this course include: identification of one’s own triggers and biases when dealing with students and school communities in conflict; the evaluate efficacy of various peace methods such as support groups, youth leadership programs, social justice curriculum, peace circles, peer mediation, victim offender conferencing and other restorative justice practices as they apply to specific school-community needs.
