Cool School: Where Peace Rules
Description:Part computer game, part educational classroom tool, COOL SCHOOL: Where Peace Rules! is a whimsical interactive game where children, ages five to seven (grades K-2), journey to the fanciful world of Cool School, where everything—from erasers to desks to books to basketballs—are alive and full of personality. Here, in a vibrant and fun setting, children are taught invaluable social, communication, and problem-solving skills that promote conflict resolution through negotiation, compromise, cooperation, and reconciliation. Children learn specific conflict resolution words and phrases that equip them with the tools they need to keep minor disputes from escalating. By teaching children these valuable skills, we hope to move towards a more civil, tolerant, and peaceful society where youth violence is curbed and schools are made safer.
