About Me

Susan Gelber Cannon: Before retiring, I was a classroom teacher and peace educator. I retired into caregiving, and I am now learning what "think, care, act" and "teaching for a peaceful future" mean in a different context of life. In this blog, use the top-left-corner search box to search for resources for teaching as well as living. There are hundreds of books, videos, lesson plans, and teaching ideas, among other resources. I was an educator with over 30 years of classroom experience practicing multicultural, character, global, and peace education and developing teaching methods to empower students to think, care, and act for the greater good. Praising my book, peace educator Ian Harris wrote: “Peace can be taught in practically every discipline if teachers truly concerned about the fate of this planet and its inhabitants have resources like this book to guide them.” Significant online discounts are available at IAP: http://www.infoagepub.com/products/Think-Care-Act.
