Rita Monique Bouchard ’25 (Online, EdD) authored the chapter, “Nonviolence in Education: Towards Creating Compassionate Communities,” published in Nonviolence as Educational Praxis (Emerald Publishing Limited).
The chapter grew out of Bouchard’s presentation at the Spring 2024 conference, A Call of Our Time: Awakenings to Nonviolence in Curriculum and Education, held in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She presented on the work of her educational community, where social-emotional learning is woven into daily practice and a thriving learning environment is cultivated without grades, punishments, or rewards. Following the conference, presenters were invited to submit papers for publication, and Bouchard was honored to contribute to the book project.
