Today, many states are mandating that teachers and administrators take courses or workshops in violence prevention. This hands-on book offers easy-to-follow guidance for implementing violence prevention strategies in schools and classrooms. The author weaves in case study examples from personal experience to address these issues. Chapters are structured by the PEACE approach:
P
ersonalize the experience of violence,
E
xamine experiences of students in the school,
A
dvocate for students based on their needs,
C
hoose and implement programs components, and
valuate effectiveness. The PEACE approach will provide a framework that can make sense within any school environment—from alternative to suburban—and allow educators to tailor programs that will work for them given the needs of their students. Ideas for workshops are also included. Will interest pre-service and in-service teachers and administrators and researchers.
