ONE-PAGE 12 PT. SINGLE SPACED JUSTIFICATION STATEMENT

What are the reasons, i.e., words, actions, leadership qualities relative to peace that this educator portrays that moved you to nominate them for this year’s educator of the year award.

This award is presented by the Wholistic Peace Institute and sponsored by the Rotarian Peace-builder Committees of District 5100 and the Canby Education Association.  We have honored educators who have made inroads toward interfaith dialogue within our Portland-Metro community; teachers that have dedicated their career to better understanding of how conflict can be reduced through adopting the values of His Holiness the Dalai lama, considered the spiritual guise of Nobel Peace Laureates.  Or teachers that have included peace-making curriculum in their school’s educational offerings. Example, the West Linn Wilsonville School District’s annual celebration of the  “Season of Non-violence” or studies of key Nobels within their middle or high school history classes.  The Institute has several Nobel Peace Laureate  Partners that we can provide educational materials to interested teachers for their use: President Kim Dae-jung and His widow Madam Li (2000); President Lech Walesa (1983); President Oscar Arias Sanchez (1987); President F. W. De Klerk (1993); His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama (1989); Al Gore (2007); Betty Williams (1976); Adolfo Perez Esquivel (1980); Jody Williams (1997); Amnesty (1977); PSR (1985); European Union (2012)
