O knihe

A volume in Peace Education
Series Editors Ian Harris, University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee,
Edward J. Brantmeier, James Madison University, and Jing Lin, University of Maryland
Committed to teaching for peace and justice, the author brings to life a teaching approach that empowers
youth:
. to think critically and creatively about historical, current, and future issues,
. to care about classmates and neighbors as well as the global community,
. to act-locally and globally-for the greater good.
Think, Care, Act: Teaching for a Peaceful Future is readable, practical, conversational, and intimate.
It will inspire readers to build a just and peaceful world.
Think, Care, Act depicts the daily successes and struggles a peace educator undergoes in encouraging students to envision peace and gain tools to
build a culture of peace. The author uses three imperatives-think, care, act-to infuse required curricula with peace, character, and multicultural
concepts in daily activities throughout the year.
Chapters address critical and creative thinking; media and political literacy; compassionate classroom and school climate; explorations of racism,
gender issues, civil discourse, global citizenship, war, and peace; and school, community, and global social-action projects. Chapters include
rationales, lesson expectations, and classroom "play-by-play." Students' feedback about the impact of lessons is also featured. With its combination
of theory and practice Think, Care, Act is unique. It will motivate teachers, education students, and scholars to employ "think, care, act" frameworks
to empower students to build a peaceful future.
