tools to do something positive about violence.

conflicts nonviolently and make your school a safer place to be and a more effective place
to learn. The Kit will help students become more critical viewers of media violence
and less violent in their own play.

way of living and acting every day, so that their lives truly do make a difference.
- This Kit provides helpful resources for inviting parents to make
the Pledge of Nonviolence a part of their family, reinforcing what the school is teaching
their children.
- The program offers concrete action options for confronting the
violence your students and their families face in the community, in the media, sometimes
even at school or at home.
- This Kit
is easy to use with practical and engaging classroom
activities for each of the Pledge components and comprehensive teachers manuals for
infusing the Pledge into the curriculum year-round.
- And the Kit is fully multicultural, offering hundreds of
suggestions for breaking down racial barriers and confronting the violence of racism and
the other "-isms" that are the roots of violence in our society.
