This special issue of the Peabody Journal of Education provides a
comprehensive overview of the latest developments in peace
education reform. School reforms based upon principles of peace
education have in common a belief in the power of peace to create a
positive learning climate in schools and to address the problems of
violence in the broader culture. A peace education strategy for
improving school productivity rests upon three main assumptions: 1.
Violence contributes to the poor performance of many students. 2.
Adults in school settings need to address problems created by
violence in order for schools to improve. 3. Anxieties that make it
hard for students to master traditional subject matter can best be
addressed by a comprehensive peace education strategy that makes
school a safe place to learn and provides students with knowledge
about alternative nonviolent ways to resolve conflicts. Peace
building reforms go beyond responding to immediate forms of
violence that may be overwhelming students and teachers to
promoting positive images of peace through the study of
nonviolence. Written by established experts in the field of peace
education from six different countries, this collection of articles
not only represents a wide variety of peace education practices
from different corners of the globe, but it also represents varying
academic perspectives. Educators can play a key role in helping
human societies progress toward more sustainable ways of living by
implementing peacemaking, peacekeeping, and peace building
strategies in school programs. Peace education reforms point to a
new way of thinking about schools as vehicles for promoting a peace
culture through insights offered by nonviolent theory.
