Curriculum:
The Center has developed the Peace Curriculum that features supplemental A.R.T. lessons reflected in the acronym PEACE--P--Parent Empowerment, E-Empathy, A-Anger Management--C--Character Education and E-Essential Social Skills.  In addition to The Peace Curriculum, we have additional curriculum in Model Guidance (k-12), student mentoring,  conflict mediation, peer helping, Restorative Justice and school-wide character education.
 
Parent Component:
A Parent and Family  Program has been developed that creates social bonding among families and within families while teaching the social skills within the family unit. This program establishes long-term effectiveness with families.
 
Discipline System:
A highly-structured discipline system that includes rules, recognitions, points and level system has been refined over time and is highly successful with oppositional students and creates an atmosphere that will help students master their social skills in order to achieve academic and social success.
 
Materials:
We have developed some fantastic materials that help students learn social emotional learning skills. They include:
  • Pre-K, elementary, middle and high school curriculum
  • Advisement Curriculum for Middle and High School
  • Twelve-week pull out curriculum for elementary and secondary students
  • Elementary and Secondary Planners emphasizing character
  • Character Story Book
  • Elementary and Secondary Classroom Posters
  • Character cards for elementary and secondary
  • Elementary Goal Setting Book with the Character Kids
Trainings:
Look in our Workshop Section to read about the growing number of trainings we offer across the country.  Our monthly schedule is posted in the Calendar Section.  You may also schedule a training by calling Sara, Renee, or Amie at 303 828 9733.
 
Grants:
We have been quite successful in helping school districts and organizations write grants to do these programs effectively.  Our grant writer, Ron Mirr, from Iowa City, is available to help people both learn to write grants as well as write and edit.
