More Notes From A Teacher Using Conflict Resolution12/12/2013
0 Comments


As a fourth grade Special Education Teacher I continue to learn and grow in my ability to live the Alternative to Violence principles. Through my experience in teaching young children and managing conflicted situations with the adults that I live, work, and play with, I continue to find new and successful ways to diffuse situations. I teach them through my actions and focused interventions how conflict can be resolved nonviolently. I show the much more positive outcome that is the result of nonviolent conflict resolution.

The resources on this website will guide you through this lifestyle and teach you a better way to handle whatever conflict is in your life. If you can truly commit to the philosophies taught through this course, your life and all of your relationships will be enriched in ways that violent (verbal, physical, emotional) actions cannot possibly nurture. Please know that there is a team of people here to support you through this journey.

See session 6 with the major point, "There have been many, but usually little-known, lives to guide us about nonviolence."

Notes from a college student:

4/2/2013

I am consistently encouraged to continue my path pursuing conflict management by the frequent emails of job listings by the department. It’s exciting to think about what’s out there waiting for me after I graduate. There are also many opportunities for internships, fellowships, and studying abroad, which is a goal of mine someday. There are positions available all over the world, including India, Guatemala, Washington D.C. and Oregon. Careers entitled “Dispute Resolution Specialist” and “Mediation Program Coordinator” give me hope that the courses I am taking will prepare me for making a difference in these fields. The prospect of working with such organizations as The Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Education for Peace and Sustainable Development and The Alliance for Peacebuilding, whose values are so in line with my own, gives me great inspiration to continue on this journey.


At the bottom of About Us you will find a downloadable list of organizations working towards peace, justice, and nonviolence.
