National PeaceBuilder |
|
| As our way of honoring PeaceBuilders who go beyond all expectations, PeacePartners, Inc. recognizes several
“National PeaceBuilders” throughout the year. These exceptional people work unselfishly to
build peace in their homes, in their schools and in their communities; and in so doing they make the world a
better place for all of us. Join us in celebrating each and every one of them for their contributions in creating
safer, more peaceful learning environments. |

This Spring we celebrate the hard work of hundreds of individuals who call themselves
PeaceBuilders, but now also call themselves...

Congratulations to the 30 PeaceBuilders elementary schools that have been honored with
this amazing recognition.
484 California Elementary Schools were selected to be honored this year. Schools were identified
for eligibility on the basis of their API & AYP results and by their success in narrowing the
achievement gap that exists between higher-performing and lower-performing students.
All applicants underwent a stringent selection process conducted by the California Department
of Education with the help of many educators from across the state. Each applicant was required
to describe two signature practices that have led to an increase in student achievement and a
narrowing of the achievement gap. Applicants were then selected to receive a thorough site
visit to validate the signature practices. We know several of these winners described
PeaceBuilders as one of their two signature practices!
We are proud to be a part of your success and honored to be part of the team!
