Here are some classroom ideas and lesson plans to help you teach Tennessee Civics How to setup a Peace Corner in your classroom Comparing Law Related Education programs Comparing Peaceable Schools objectives and the corresponding objectives and competencies of Terra Nova Comparing Second Step objectives and the corresponding objectives and competencies of Terra Nova Recently, many of you have asked about setting up a "peace corner" in your classrooms. Following are some questions and answers about the concept. If you already have a peace corner in your classroom, please e-mail (preferable) or fax (615) 884-5004 me with information that you'd like to share and we'll run it in the next edition of the newsletter. Such information might include who, what, why, and where or it could consist of anecdotes of your experiences. What is a "Peace Corner?" A peace corner is a little spot in your room, as free as possible from distractions, that is setup specifically to promote classroom peace and harmony. What happens in a peace corner and who goes there? The purpose of such a spot is to provide a quiet place where students can go to cool down, reflect on their behavior or participate in a negotiation or mediation. Students who use the corner are those who need to take a "time-out," either verbal or written for disruptive behavior; those who need to get away to cool down from a confrontation or those who need to negotiate with a fellow student or participate in a mediation.
