Description:

Instructor: Liz Shulman
Presented by The SESP Teaching, Learning, & Education Program
Tuesday, June 25th | 9 AM - 3 PM | Norris University Center | Scholars Room (#2-188) | 1999 Campus Dr, Evanston, IL 60208 

This one-day workshop examines the different ways in which one can integrate a peace curriculum into a content-specific course while also providing a history and context to the theory of peace education as an interdisciplinary field. Participants will discuss what movements and structures contribute to-or take away from-a just peace while discussing how nonviolence is an active rather than passive form of engagement. How can we broaden our imaginations and find creative ways to develop ourselves and our students when in conflict? How can we apply these skills to classroom environments where students carry a multitude of life experiences with them that are constantly changing? Parking and lunch vouchers included.  

Illinois licensed teachers will be eligible to receive 5 hours of professional development that can be used toward Illinois teacher licensure renewal.

Registration for this workshop will close on June 11th, 2024.
