Thinking of larger matters

I have been mulling it for some time now in light of the increasing prevalence of violent reactions in our everyday lives and would like to offer a suggestion of an independent study in conflict resolution / non-violent action in history and practices.  If you would be interested in crafting such a Independent Study for next semester  I would happily be the teacher of record for it.  Here is the official listing for Independent Study from the Lion's Lore -

Course Title:     Independent Study Semester Course                              Credit: 1 to 5 per semester 

Course Description: 
When a student has demonstrated the ability and maturity necessary to work under supervision on a program of his/her own creation independent of a class setting, an independent study contract is devised with the teacher of the designated area of study. Having agreed on the number of semester hours (1 to 5 semester hours) that the study will merit, the student then seeks signed approval from the department chairperson of the area of study, from his/her counselor, from a parent, and from the Assistant Principal in charge of Instruction. Once the semester begins, the semester hours are no longer negotiable. Further guidelines and instructional policies are outlined on the Independent Study contract obtainable from a counselor. 

Entry Level Skills, Knowledge, and Content: Developed as part of contract. 
Class Expectations: Developed as part of contract.
