Janice Marie Johnson

Janice Marie Johnson joined Morningside Center in 2007, and has provided training and coaching for teachers in schools across the city in a range of Morningside Center programs. She participated in the randomized control trial of our 4Rs Program. Janice came to Morningside Center through her daughter, who had been invited to a week-long training to become a peer mediator at her school. Janice initially nixed the opportunity. Thankfully, she eventually relented. Before long, Janice became so excited about the program that she visited Morningside Center, learned the methodology, and started working in the field. Her interest deepened. She earned a Masters in Conflict Transformation (Skidmore College) and a Doctorate in Multi-faith Ministry (New York Theological Seminary). Janice is a curriculum developer who is deeply committed to intersectionality and multiculturalism. She is also a consummate student who always learns much from her students across the generations.
