Conflict resolution strategies for students
Combining entertaining video dramas with lesson plans, student activities, overheads and a teacher's resource book, this series of four videos and print curriculum helps students learn all important interpersonal conflict resolution skills.
Focusing on the proven technique that students learn more by exercising their own critical thinking skills, this series puts the students themselves in control of the process. Based on the STAR problem-solving steps of Stop, Talk, Act, Reflect the four dramas showcase different resolutions to common school conflicts that students will identify with. After trying out the four steps students identify the conflict resolution strategies known as APE - Active listening, Problem solving and Emotional awareness.
