Nonviolent Communication and Education |
Nonviolent Communication Skills and Education means creating an environment of safety and trust — in support of learning — for the entire community. NVC in education creates safety and
trust by giving children, parents, families, teachers, and school staff the opportunity to be heard deeply, to experience a community of support, to express fully in a way most likely to lead to connection, and to develop ease and confidence around preventing and resolving conflicts. Nonviolent Communication skills in education — when considered deeply —
elicit a new awareness about who we are as human beings and why we are here.
Better Boundaries - Going Beyond Judgement, Shame and Blame - Part 2 of 3 by Beth Banning
Sometimes the world can seem like a dense forest, where we can easily get lost and disoriented, unsure where to turn. So many decisions and seemingly so little time to make them. This lack of direction can be stressful and even overwhelming. In these moments, it is tempting to protect ourselves by creating boundaries that would guard us against all possible troubles that may lie
ahead and keep us on track until we find our way out of the woods. |
GREAT TEACHERS
Awaken hearts and minds. Believe in possibilities. Challenge you to soar. Dare to care. Enlighten and empower. Foster respect and laughter. Get involved. Help you do for yourself. Invite and encourage questions. Joyfully embrace diversity. Keep an open mind. Look for the best in you. Make a difference. Never give up on you. Provide a sense of belonging. Quest to make learning fun. Remember what it’s like to be
you. Stimulate creative self-expression. Take time to explain things. Unwrap talents and abilities. Value everyone’s feelings and needs. Welcome mistakes as part of learning. Xplore, experiment and lead by example. Yearn to connect not correct. Zest to build a better world. © Meiji Stewart |
"WE HAVE BEEN educated to work for extrinsic rewards, not to look at whether what we’re doing is serving life." Marshall Rosenberg |
"UNFORTUNATELY, WE WERE educated in guilt-inducing ways by authorities—teachers, parents, etc.—who used guilt to mobilize us to do what they wanted." Marshall Rosenberg |

"WE RECOGNIZE THAT real educational reform is essential if today’s and tomorrow’s children are to live in a more peaceful, just, and sustainable world." Marshall Rosenberg |
"THOUGH THE ROAD to educational innovation is not easy, I see it as a powerful way to ever achieve peace on this planet.
If future generations can be educated in schools structured so that everyone’s needs are valued, I believe they will be better able to create life-enriching families, workplaces,
and governments." Marshall Rosenberg |

"FIRST THING WE do is we want to teach these students how to work for intrinsic motives, not extrinsic.
If you don’t see how something is going to enrich your life, why do it?
If you don’t see how it’s going to serve life, why do
it?" Marshall Rosenberg |

"I’M SUGGESTING TODAY that we never evaluate a student’s performance by any jackal language. Let’s get the following words out of our consciousness as teachers: right, wrong, good, bad, correct, incorrect, slow learner, fast learner. This is dangerous language." Marshall
Rosenberg |

Think for yourself and let others
enjoy the right to do the same. —Voltaire
Punitive Use of Force Punitive use of force takes place when we punish people because we deem their behavior to be bad or wrong and the only way to change their behavior is to make them ashamed about doing it or feel afraid of doing it again. This consciousness arises from the belief that people do things that are dangerous to themselves or others because they are bad. It also assumes that we are in a position to determine
what is good and what is bad, and that we have the power to enforce our views of this. For instance, if you refuse to make dinner to punish your spouse for being late, you are operating in a punitive use of force model, punishing someone for perceived bad behavior. If you take the kids out to dinner without her because they are hungry, free of any judgment about your spouse’s lateness, you are operating in a protective use of force model because you focus on supporting
your children, not punishing your wife. This consciousness serves life without judgment and blame. Be aware today of when you are using force in a punitive way. |
