Conflict is an inevitable part of relationships, but handling it effectively can deepen and strengthen your classroom culture.
Attitude plays a crucial role in determining whether conflict damages or enriches a relationship, as highlighted by William James and Patrick Lencioni. Teaching conflict resolution involves understanding the nature of conflict, recognizing its potential benefits, and learning strategies like active listening, using "I messages," and finding compromises.
The S.O.R.T. method—Seeing the problem, Owning your part, Resolving the conflict, and Tooling up—provides a structured approach to navigate and resolve disputes constructively. By fostering these skills, we equip individuals to build stronger, healthier relationships.
