Peace Area: Place or Process? Presented by A.I.S.D. Social and Emotional Learning Department
Objective: • Understand the purpose and procedure for teaching and using a peace area in the classroom
Consider how many times in a typical day your students ask you: • for help resolving a conflict with a peer • for comfort due to overwhelming emotions
Is there more than one way to set up a Peace Area? Yes! What’s important is the process, not the place!
What are the guidelines for a Peace Area? • Voluntary • Middle range problems • 5 to 10 minutes • Teacher monitors and processes afterward
How do you teach your students to use the Peace Area for emotional self-regulation?
Special thanks to Lindy Garrett and Daniel Gach for their enormous contribution to content, the students in Mathew Garland’s and Leticia Saucedo’s classes at ZilkerElementary for their demonstration of the peace process in their classrooms, and all the teachers at Metz, Sanchez and Govalle Elementary Schools who allowed us to photograph their peace areas. Also, special thanks to counselor Stacey Feldman at Zilker Elementary for her peace path template and talk-n-walk visuals, and to Maria Mendoza at Andrews Elementary for the dual languagepeace path.
