LTPS World Peace Game Featured at the NJEA Teachers Convention

This past summer marked the second time our district participated in the transformative World Peace Game, and we couldn’t be more proud of our incredible students! Our commitment to engaging students in meaningful, hands-on learning experiences was highlighted when our own students were featured at last week’s NJEA Convention. The convention showcased a video of our students' participation to educators across New Jersey, spotlighting the powerful work happening right here in LTPS.

We were especially honored to have John Hunter, the brilliant mind behind the World Peace Game, guide our students last summer. A Master Educator and the game's designer, John Hunter has inspired countless students and educators worldwide with his vision for peace and critical thinking. Many may recognize him from NPR’s “Morning Edition” StoryCorps segment, where he shared reflections with a former student about the impact of this unique experience. His special address at the NJEA Convention encouraged educators to reimagine students’ roles in education and strive for deeper, more collaborative learning.

We’re so grateful for these opportunities that continue to inspire our community and the broader educational world. Here’s to fostering peace, creativity, and leadership in every student!
