The Same School - A Completely Different Approach
What teacher or educator hasn't encountered pupil intolerance, undermined authority and even, on occasion, violence and vandalism? Many of these problems, which are so common today, can be attributed to a lack of communication between teachers, between teachers and pupils and, of course, to miscommunication among pupils themselves.
Education for Life is spearheading an intervention program to improve the educational environmental atmosphere. The program, based on the successful American model of nonviolent communication, teaches educators in a structured and overall manner how to teach the life skills of nonviolent communication to pupils. In addition, the program focuses on education procedures, improvement of communication skills on the teaching staff and improvement of the relationship between the parents and the school as well as the teacher's ability to efficiently work with the pupils.
The Education for Life program, professionally adapted for all educational institutions, maps unique needs while creating a goal-oriented program. The courses provide a comprehensive response for all levels of study, from preschool to elementary and junior high school, to high school and institutions of higher education.
Recognized by the Ministry of Education! The courses are recommended by the Ministry of Education and are recognized for the purpose of improving the atmosphere and preventing violence in schools. All Education for Life courses are recognized for the study fund.
