3 Project Information The CD includes theory and specific exercises and tools, aims to improve the behaviour, the pedagogical methodology and the knowledge of teachers to deal with violence in educational organizations and therefore to promote Peace Education trough the training of teachers skills. The target is teachers or trainers of schools or any other educational organization who work with children from 0 to 16 years old. The course is divided in three modules, plus a Final Paper. The modules are: Module I: Individual Strategies for Teachers in Peace Education Module II: Social Strategies to Cope with Violence in Educational Environments Module III: Selected Approaches to Violence in Educational Environments The organization of the modules is meant to go over the educational organization violence, starting from your own person. The Module I proposes inner works and trains personal strategies to cope with the subject. As a second step, Module II gives ideas and methods which are meant to be applied in the educational environment as an area defined by social and group facts. The Final Paper is included at the end of this module. The Module II is focused on the educational organization and on the intervention of the teacher with the students, and that is what the Final Paper is about. The third and the last step of the course, showed by the Module III, provides a deeper knowledge about violence in educational organizations designed to complete and improve the empirical approaches of the first two modules. Each module includes two Assessments: one at the beginning (Initial Self Assessment) and one at the end of the module (Final self Assessment). The Initial self Assessment has two main objectives: it works as a tool to focus the attention of the trainee on the module that he or she is going to study and, on the other hand, it measures and gives to the trainee and idea about the position from where he or she is going to work that module. The Final Self Assessment is meant to evaluate the improvement of the trainee thanks to the study of the module he or she has been going through. The contents of the course of the three Modules are organized as theory, additionalinformation, exercises and tools. Apart from the theory, the other parts are shown, and consist in: link word additional information The contents of the additional information are meant to complete the theory that has been explained above. link word exercise These proposals are designed to be done by the trainee. Each of them has a different objective but in most of the cases the exercises try to promote a self reflection about a subject. link word tool The tools are exercises to be applied in class by the teachers or trainers, with the group of students or children they work with. It is important to clarify that some of the exercises which target is the trainee could be easily modified to be able to be applied as a tool to develop with the group of children.
