Peacekeepers Pillars of Peace: Teacher Pacing Guide

This guide is designed to serve multiple purposes, offering both flexibility and depth for educators and program leaders. It functions as a stand-alone curriculum that is easy to facilitate while remaining deeply meaningful for students.

At its core are ten foundational Pillars that guide students in developing the skills, mindset, and awareness needed to step into the role of a Peacekeeper in the world. When paired with the student training workbook, the Teacher Pacing Guide provides the “how”—offering a clear, structured pathway for delivering a full curriculum that prepares students for authentic peacekeeping work.

This resource also builds on the framework established in Jen Williams’ first book, Peacekeepers, Empowering Youth Using Restorative Practices: The Implementation Manual. It serves as a practical extension, supporting schools and organizations in developing systems that empower students to lead healing conversations and engage in restorative practices.

More than a curriculum, it offers the “why” behind the work—helping educators and leaders understand the purpose, vision, and impact of cultivating student Peacekeepers within their communities.

For best results, it is recommended that a program plan is established prior to implementation, and that facilitators have training in restorative justice conferencing to fully support and sustain this work.
