Conflict Resolution 101: How to have a more peaceful and cooperative classroom

How can you have a more peaceful and cooperative classroom? Check out these articles that should really help. Please note that free posters are available for you to download, print, and post for classroom use.

After reading this e-mail sent to me by a current teacher, I realized that it was time to post these article links again. Here’s a copy of her e-mail message:

“ I just finished reading your article on the 3 essential classroom rules and I wanted to thank you for sharing it. You've discovered a wonderful method for sharing the basic behavioral expectations needed to make the classroom environment efficient and pleasant. I especially like the way you head-off inane, but inevitable, student excuses about what "talking" means! Thank you, too, for sharing the posters -- you saved me time, which for a teacher equates to possible family fun time (i.e., not doing school stuff!).”

Character Education Tale: Accept Me for Who I Am

Here is a story scenario you can use to help teach about the importance of the Character Education traits of Self Control, Valuing & Respecting Self, Valuing & Respecting Others, and Tolerance & Allowing. Some kids start making fun of basketball player Jason just because he is short. In the first part of the story, seventh-grader Jason reacts badly to their ridicule. He ends up getting beat up. The last part of the story shows how much better the situation can be when Jason demonstrates enough self control to talk reasonably with his tormentors. As a result, they react in a more tolerant fashion as well. The story is called “Accept Me for Who I Am.” This Conflict Resolution story is based on an idea shared with me by one of my past seventh-grade students who struggled with being a lot shorter than the other 7th-grade guys.
