Curriculum

A newly revised edition of our full Peace Begins in Me curriculum will be published at the end of August, 2012. This updated edition will have new lessons and activities on culutral competence, diversity and privilege...as well as the lessons from the original edition on letter writing and peaceful communication.  In addition, this edition will be matched to Common Core Standards.  Stay tuned for details!

Peace Begins in Me, Teacher Handbook

The PeacePal Teacher Handbook has been created to streamline the process of integrating the Peace Begins in Me curriculum into your classroom. Think of this as "Nine easy steps to a fun and successful PeacePal program!" This is a dynamic way to teach students about global issues through direct contact with peers across the world and by studying global peace builders and the issues they felt moved to address. Using the lesson plans and activites, your students will learn to write thoughtfully and correctly, providing structure for less confident writers, and is aligned with New Mexico standards and benchmarks in language arts.
