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.

From one of our valued community members....
......I do want to comment because I feel so strongly about this program. I have been an elementary school counselor for 38 years & I love this program and better yet so do the kids. My K-2 kids loved it and after the 1st session everyone got right into it. When I started my lessons in grades 3-5, I explained that I got it for the little ones but thought they might like it too. They loved it!!! Just thought you might like to know. Thank you for a great program.

I have twice tried unsuccessfully to download this file - the last time it timed out after over 12 hours of loading. Could this please be reposted as a non-zip file? I have a mac and it can certainly handle 144MB.
Many thanks

I downloaded it two different times and both times I was completely unaable to unzip the program! It sounds so great - any way someone could look into this so we can all try it out? Thank you!!
