| A Peaceful Place is Powerful for the Mind |
| http://teachersnetwork.org/adaptors/farmer/index.htm |
| My goal was to enable my students to solve conflicts on their own. So often when problems arose in school, I found that my kids had few resources for fixing them peacefully. Therefore, most of my adaptations focused the unit to that goal. Instead of spending a lot of time on outreach, we worked on how we can make our classroom a peaceful place. |
