Peacemaker Program

PEACEMAKERS ARE TRAINED TO WORK WITH STUDENTS TO HELP RESOLVE CONFLICTS

This program is an extension of the Soul Shoppe program we did during the 23-24 school year.  During the 24-25 school year we will be painting Peace Paths on our playgounds. When students have a conflict, peacemakers help them to literally and physically walk the path to peace. Peace paths are “life-size” (4′ x 13′) and students move step by step along this courageous journey in order to peacefully resolve their conflicts. Having the peace path as a permanent part of the playground allows students to use the path and the communication tools on their own.

Here is how our students work through the process of peace making (you may see some of these strategies at home):

  • “I” Messages are  the essential communication tool
  • “The Clean-Up”: takes students beyond, “I’m sorry” and connects their behavior with another's feelings
  • “Stop & Breathe”: an important decision making and de-escalation skill
  • Teamwork: Peacemakers learn the value of working together
  • Leadership: Peacemakers are  leaders in their community
