Waging Peace In Our Schools
by Linda Lantieri and Janet Patti
Based On the Work of the Resolving Conflict Creatively
Program From the largest and most successful school
initiatives in social and emotional learning in the country–the
Resolving Conflict Creatively Program, now active in more
that 350 schools nationwide–comes a powerful, practical
guide for teaching young people to empathize, mediate, negotiate,
and create peace. The authors address everything from minor
schoolyard conflicts to violent outbursts, and offer educators
and parents proven strategies for enhancing children’s
emotional, social, and conflict resolution skills.
“Parents, educators, and counselors need to put this
groundbreaking work on their ‘must read’ lists.”
–Richard Fields, Professional Counselor
“A convincing argument that public education should
nurture not only the minds but the hearts of children.”
–Chrystal Ingram, Creative Classroom
“More than 70 percent of teachers who’ve gone
through RCCP training report that there is less physical violence
in their classrooms and that their students now exhibit more
caring behavior and increased skills in understanding other
points of view…The authors do an excellent job of outlining
the steps parents can take…to create a ‘peaceable
home.” –The Washington Post
Highly recommended.
