Conflict Resolution in Educational Institutions with Bill Warters from Bryan Hanson on Vimeo.

 

Conflict Resolution in Educational Settings
Conflict is a marvelous learning opportunity because it requires people to adjust their habitual ways of acting in response to the conflict they are encountering. In this session we will explore the various ways that educational institutions are working with and learning from conflict when it emerges. We'll examine both K-12 and higher education environments with an aim to understand the different types of practice that are common. We'll review some ways to access free teaching and learning materials tailored specifically to educational settings.
