margin-left:36.0pt'><em><i><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:
12.0pt;font-family:Calibri'>Many of us are interested in and strive for peaceful
engagement in our families, communities, schools, and nation, and there are
strong calls for peace within our education community (e.g., Oxford, 2013; The
Language of Peace: Communicating to Create Harmony) and in international
engagement initiatives (e.g., Gopin, 2016; Healing the Heart of Conflict).
However, understandings about ways to live in peace often remain abstract, and
the language that we observe in politics, the media, and even in education (and
that we use ourselves) is often filled with judgments, labels, and blame, and
we increasingly see misunderstandings and division across, and even within, the
groups that we care about and engage with. The goals of this talk are to review
key principles and components of nonviolent communication, which teachers can
use with learners and colleagues and in their classes, and all of us can use in
our daily lives. These include ways to Observe, express our own Feelings,
understand our Needs, and make Requests.</span></font></i></em><o:p></o:p></p>
