EDU 773 - Leadership for School Conflict Resolution (3 )

GR

Consider options and tools at the disposal of an administrator for resolving daily disputes. The overarching premise is that conflict is part of everyday life, especially in school environments. Learn positive conflict management practices, including active listening and communication skills, negotiation skills, mediation, arbitration, victim and offender mediation, and nonviolent direct action. Consider case studies to illustrate real-world conflict scenarios, allowing candidates to apply theoretical concepts to practical situations to further develop personal conflict management skills. Explore situations in which school leaders are caught in the middle between a variety of stakeholders (teachers, parents, students, community, and district). Candidates will have opportunities for self-reflection and self-evaluation, as well as an opportunity to study emotional intelligence to consider the role their own EQ plays in creating or reducing and dispelling conflict. This course addresses PSEL Standards: Standard 3: Equity and Cultural Responsiveness, Standard 8: Meaningful Engagement of Families and Community, and Standard 9: Operations and Management, and Standard 10: School Improvement
