Message from the Chair, Blythe F. Hinitz

Dear Colleagues,

          How can we talk of peace education in a country whose leadership is moving to war?  How can we not?  Peace education can light the way to a culture of peace in this International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-violence for the children of the world (2001-2010).  Margaret Mead wrote:  “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world.  Indeed it is the only thing that ever did.”  Are we in the AERA Peace Education SIG that small group?  We are!  IF we maintain our focus on working with children and youth, to help them find peaceful ways of resolving conflicts and of interacting on an ongoing basis, AND if we share our search with each other and the world.  We are, IF we include parents and significant adults in our work, so that the principles of peace are carried out in the home and the school, all over the world.  We are IF we not only know about and use the available resources, but we educate and encourage diverse others to use them.

          During the spring of 2002, I attended the IFLAC Rabin Conference in London.  There I listened to doctors and professors, students and poets share examples of things that are part of a peace culture, from places in the world that are not peaceful. These individuals are making a difference in places small and large, one individual at a time, one small cluster of people at a time. In the fall, I was at the United Nations, and I participated in sessions about what is being done and what can be done in peace education.  Hard questions were asked:  What is the role of law in your own life and what role does it play in resolving conflict?  How can the law be used in the struggle for peace and justice?  How can we support the International Convention on the Rights of the Child (in spite of the fact that the United States and Somalia are the only two signers that have not yet ratified this Convention)? We must use its precepts every day in our lives and our work.

          How can students learn and encourage others to respect the human rights of others?  One way is to utilize and modify available curricula, many of which have been detailed in previous issues of this newsletter. (A recent example is Learning to Abolish War:  Teaching Toward a Culture of Peace from The Hague Appeal for Peace: Global Campaign for Peace Education).  Another way is to use the Internet to connect with each other, to find resources, and to see how we can assist and strengthen each other as peacemakers when government, media and fellow citizens may see only pathways that turn in the opposite direction.  A third set of helpful supports are journal articles – both hard copy and online.  The current (January/February 2003) issue of Social Studies and the Young Learner, journal of the National Council for the Social Studies, highlights the roles of the women of the world.  Betty Reardon (our Symposium presenter in 2002) writes of “Women’s Organizations Working for Human Rights and Peace.” She details the adoption by the United Nations Security Council of Resolution 1325, “which called on member states to include women in all discussions and activities related to peace and security.”  (To learn more about Resolution 1325, contact the Women’s Caucus for Gender Justice at www.iccwomen.org.)  The article also highlights the history of peace education, including the little-known fact that Mother’s Day originated as Julia Ward Howe’s attempt to “give public voice to American mothers’ protests concerning the sacrifice of their sons on the battlefield.”

     What can you and I do today and in the near future to further the cause of peace education?  Currently, all educational institutions in the United States, from preschool through college are involved in the standards movement.  This means an increasing trend towards outcomes-based education.  Please join fellow Peace Education SIG members in Chicago at workshops and sessions devoted to the development of National Standards for Social Justice.  If you are unable to come to Chicago, please share your thoughts with me or with our newsletter editor, Aline Stomfay-Stitz via email (astomfay@unf.edu).  In these troubled times, your valuable input is needed more than ever.

     This year our SIG will be electing a New Chair and Program Chair.  I urge you to think about increasing your involvement in the administration of this SIG.  This program committee, the membership committee, and the “working group” that guides this SIG between national conferences are seeking additional members.  You will have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of people inside AERA, in the larger educational community, and in the world as a whole.  What higher calling can there be than making a peaceful difference in our time?  I look forward to hearing from you about the aspect of our SIG that you are interested in.  Please send an email to me at hinitz@tcnj.edu.  I look forward to greeting you in Chicago and to working with you to increase the cause of peace education within AERA and around the world.

Conflict Resolution:  The Path from Alienation to Activism in Our Schools

By Roberta and Warren Heydenberk, Lehigh University

     The existence of school-based conflict resolution programs is currently threatened by pressures placed on our nation’s schools to raise academic achievement scores (Heydenberk & Heydenberk, 2002).  From a decade of research, we have identified several reasons why conflict resolution programs are essential in our schools.

          Our initial conflict resolution investigation was conducted in a neighborhood characterized by extreme unemployment, poverty, and high incidence of violent and aggressive behavior – even among elementary students.  Change was in order and it was urgently needed.  In an attempt to generate interest and to inform the community, conflict resolution program brochures were sent to the homes of nearly 600 homes of the elementary students at the inception of this 4-year conflict resolution program.  The conflict resolution trainers and teachers received only a few responses to the brochure, among them some very negative responses to the proposed conflict resolution program.  Parents were cynical about yet another program in their school.

     Initial pretesting of students revealed a consistent pattern of alienation and cynicism.  Most students reported feeling fearful in school at times.  The majority of students did not feel that their classmates liked or respected each other, and many students did not feel hopeful about the future (e.g., the majority of students responded negatively to “My future is happy.”).

     A feeling of safety is essential to academic success.  Creating an environment that is physically, psychologically, and socially safe is the first step in restoring hope and achievement (Goleman, 1994, 1995; Heydenberk & Heydenberk, 2000).  In a threatened state the brain downshifts, the process wherein brain activity is directed to the lower brain (the fight or flight center) instead of to the cerebral cortex where critical thinking occurs (Goleman, 1995; LeDoux, 1996).  As well, hopelessness creates students who won’t strive to achieve, and who won’t take chances, which are requisite for learning (Heydenberk & Heydenberk, 2000).  Controlling for IQ, children who “possess higher hope perform better in the scholastic and athletic arenas” (Snyder, 1994).  Conflict resolution skill development and restoration of a sense of hope and safety were the team’s first goals (Bailey & Bochnowicz, 1997).

    Despite the school and community challenges, trainers and teachers developed a conflict resolution school program on their own time.  The program included training in problem solving, communication skills and development of affective vocabulary.  Skills were reinforced and practiced during daily integration into the academic curriculum.

          By the end of the first year of implementation there were dramatic reversals in students’ sense of safety and hope, as well as statistically significant changes on the Student Attitudes About Conflict (a standardized conflict resolution instrument). Students began to resolve problems once they were empowered with new skills, communication processes, and vocabulary.  The hopeful, hardworking students felt safe, and teachers reported that students spent more time on their school work and less time in conflicts.

          After year two the conflict resolution strategies and communication processes which were taught within the school began to appear in their neighborhood.  Approximately 80% of the students reported routine use of conflict resolution strategies outside of the classroom, evidence that the conflict resolution processes had been internalized and the strategies were being habitually applied to life situations outside of the class environment.  Many of the students in the program had trained or modeled what they learned about resolving conflicts with their families, siblings, or friends.

          In a subsequent four-year conflict resolution study, students in a nearby urban charter school showed similar increases in students’ problem-solving abilities, feelings of safety and sense of belonging. As well, the charter school study showed consistent increases in academic achievement on standardized measures such as the Iowa and Metropolitan achievement tests.  Furthermore, the charter school students’ scores on standard measures were consistently higher than scores on similar students in schools that send students to the charter school.

     In both situations the challenges of the neighborhoods remained, but the students’ new abilities to face the challenges posed within the school and within the community had transformed their perceptions, and consequently, their ability to learn.  These findings should counter fears that the time taken to integrate conflict resolution skills detracts from academic goals.  Instead such programs may be essential to academic achievement and social success.

Reflections from a Mini-Course with Bishop Desmond Tutu

February 18, 2003

     The University of North Florida in Jacksonville has been privileged to have Bishop Desmond Tutu from South Africa, Nobel Peace Prize laureate(1984) and noted peacemaker as a distinguished Eminent Scholar in residence during the spring semester. He taught several courses for students and mini-courses that were open to the general public. During this time his courses included his personal reflections on events in South Africa from the 1970s when apartheid was at its peak to the advent of democracy in the 1994 elections.  On two evenings, I was privileged to participate in sessions that he taught. These are some of my reflections along with his comments:

          He moved down from behind the podium this evening, moving closer to our class, standing in front of the first row of tables in one of our larger Conference Rooms at our University Center.  He was dressed casually in a maroon and black-figured cardigan sweater over beige slacks.  His round, smiling face was topped by a circle of white hair.  As  usual, he was smiling broadly as he greeted us, making direct eye contact with many present.

    He began by sharing that he took part in “one of several moments of great happiness on Saturday. . . the first was when Nelson Mandela came out of jail and the second was on Saturday when I took part in the anti-war demonstrations in New York City.” 

     He added: “I believe that there is goodness in people.  On Saturday, it was an awesome experience of caring - as if God was smiling down on all of those people.  It was overwhelming to see wave upon wave of people . . . young people with children in prams and others older who seemed to be doing something they already knew how to do. . .  We were demonstrating for peace and nonviolence . . . There is a lot of evil in the world.  But it is important also to celebrate goodness.  The celebration on Saturday was a caring experience . . . that we wish we could invent in . . . all parts of the world in our time.”

          He concluded these remarks on the demonstration by saying that : “There was a deep sense of the fundamental goodness of human beings.  God may have been smiling down on us and saying “Thank goodness!”

     He went on to tie these reflections into the topic of the Mini-Course – the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa that he headed when both victims and perpetrators applied for amnesty, after committing atrocities during the decades of apartheid. He stressed that both victims and perpetrators paid a heavy price for the violence. For the white officials (even Commissioners), they often experienced broken families, public humiliation and frequent divorces. He concluded our mini-course with these words:

          “God has a sense of humor . . . he is totally incapable . . . of despair.  We are an unlikely bunch. . . If it could be done in South Africa it can be done everywhere.  We can have hope.”

     He graciously signed copies of his books and invited participants to have their photo taken with him. It was a heartwarming, deeply personal experience we will all long remember.
