About this title

Synopsis

In the post-9/11, post-Columbine world, violence is an ongoing threat. The best way for students to make sense of violence, and to make strides in reversing its destructive course, is to face it head on. Increase the Peace is a DVD-based learning experience that presents a safe, manageable environment, where students can grapple with violent situations and consider ways to prevent them

The book component of the Increase the Peace program provides context, rationale, and an easy—to—use framework for presenting well-structured lessons in English, history, health, and other classes. With the DVD and accompanying book, you’ll be prepared to lead an exploration into school violence in which students discuss its threat, causes, and impact–as well as strategies for prevention. The program provides opportunities for students to record their feelings, perceptions, and misperceptions as they ask and answer the tough questions about violence
