A detailed look at the transformative impact of peace in an elementary classroom. Giving a history of Dr. Maria Montessori's ideas about peace and case examples of how peace can help students to be successful, this book which was the American Montessori Society's 2007 Thesis award winner opens a window into the possibility that peace may be the missing link we have been searching for to help increase student success in the classroom.
