Teaching Peace in Cheshire County
Kate Kerman facilitated a workshop that looked at curriculum and ideas based on the Peacemaking classes taught at the Keene Community Education Summer Institute and an intergenerational Power of Peace camp at Phoenix Farm in Cheshire County. Kate taught conflict resolution and facilitated hundreds of interpersonal and community mediations during 8 years at The Meeting School in Rindge, NH, where mediations and restorative discipline were an integral part of the community life. For the past 6 years she has coordinated the Keene High School peer mediation program and taught home schooling high schoolers at her Phoenix Farm Learning Center. She is in her first semester at Lesley University's Master's Program in Peaceable Schools.
