Schools are increasingly facing toxic polarization between students and even among staff. Individuals are struggling to have their voices heard in productive ways, leading to conflict escalations and tensions in the classrooms and beyond. Teens and young adults are especially at a loss for how to effectively navigate through a sensitive conversation with poise, self-awareness, and intentionality for lasting resolution.
This workshop is a 5-part series (24-hr) training to become a Conflict Coach, to
effectively guide individuals to better handle conflicts and challenges they
face. We explore how Conflict Coaching fits in the broader Alternative
Dispute Resolution context and specific definitions and boundaries of
the role, the coaching process/progression, and key skills involved. We
explore conflict drivers and styles, how to set a warm and respectful
tone, and principles of engagement. The training includes role plays
and feedback, so that participants will be fully prepared to engage
in the conflict coaching practice.
This is a highly interactive program and participants are expected to have video and audio on for the duration. Each session will require active participation. Participants will also be asked to bring at least 2 of their own “conflict stories” to explore and discuss with partners or small groups, as “case studies” for skills development. Note that there is a 1 hour practicum requirement that will take place between sessions.
Eligible for 24 hours CTLE credit.
Can use 4 Consortium seats.
If district pays, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.
