Navigating Conflict in the School Environment

The Navigating Conflict in the School Environment programme is designed to equip teachers and school leaders with the knowledge and practical skills needed to resolve, manage and transform conflict, both in their classrooms and school communities. It supports the development of social and emotional skills needed to resolve conflict, and assists teachers in encouraging their students to establish and sustain healthy, nourishing relationships throughout their own lives.

This two-part webinar brings together the best techniques from the world of mediation, authentic relating and conflict resolution.

Part 1, (Authentic Relating + Conflict Resolution) will support teachers in gaining a deeper understanding of their own reactions, feelings, emotions, and behaviours in conflict. It outlines the “5 Pillars” approach from Authentic Relating and supports teachers in implementing this process into their lives and classrooms. Participants will gain an understanding into the neuroscience of conflict, how to identify and navigate triggers, and self-regulation techniques to support themselves in responding to conflict effectively.

Part 2, (Brave Cultures, Brave Classrooms) will provide a framework of engagement for conflict situations, through the foundational techniques of “Conflict Aikido” and Non-Violent Communication (bringing and receiving an emotional charge). “Brave Cultures, Brave Classrooms” will also examine how to respond to conflict through constructive means, and how to move towards and implement a restorative mindset and culture int the classroom.

These workshops present opportunities for self-reflection and peer learning, contributing to long-lasting personal and professional development.
