Success in Education Through Peace, Healing, and Hope A Profound New Vision for Our Public Schools

Karen Rusthoven has created a unique and sustainable model for America's public schools that works for all, not just for some. Only by ensuring that each child has the opportunity to be in a safe, caring, and moral educational environment can we expect our young people to reach their full potential. For true and lifelong success in education, Rusthoven advocates building a framework that gives full attention to every aspect of the child, addressing the importance of instilling sound moral behavior based on the quality of our experiences with people in the learning community. The desired outcome of wholeness of life for all is not only possible'but proven'by Rusthoven's own experiences as founder and principal of Community of Peace Academy, a highly acclaimed public charter school in Saint Paul, Minnesota. It calls on educators, parents, politicians, public policy makers, and community members'to be creative in our thinking and courageous in our actions on behalf of young people.Rustoven, Karen J. is the author of 'Success in Education Through Peace, Healing, and Hope A Profound New Vision for Our Public Schools', published 2007 under ISBN 9780929636726 and ISBN 0929636724.
