Scenario 23: Conflict resolution (A) Behaviour Scenarios A specially commissioned set of resources for tutors, school mentors and trainee teachers Scenario 23: Conflict resolution (A) 1

Scenario 23 Conflict resolution (A) You are aware that, in your school, there seems to be a lot of antagonism between staff and pupils, between pupils and pupils and sometimes between the staff themselves. What are some of the general approaches that will help reduce or resolve conflicts? www.behaviour4learning.ac.uk 2

Key Learning Outcomes An understanding of some of the features of conflict and some of the approaches that are effective in conflict resolution. An opportunity to model and practise some of the stages in conflict resolution Relevant QTS Standards: Q21(b), Q30 & Q31 www.behaviour4leqrning.ac.uk 3

What do you do? Tell the person/people that you think they should grow up and behave more considerately. Don’t take sides but try to sort out who started it. Listen actively to what they are saying. Try to decide who is to blame so that you can get to the bottom of their personal problems. Suggest that you should decide who is in the wrong. Resolve the conflict, shake hands and agree that it will never happen again. www.behaviour4learning.ac.uk 4

What may be the best choice? Listen actively to what they are saying. In order to understand the origin of a conflict you first need to really understand people’s feelings and needs. In any case, the skills of active listening are essential for effective teaching. For more information on active listening see the handout on Active Listening www.behaviour4learning.ac.uk 5

How might you prevent a recurrence? An effective approach to conflict resolution involves seven steps: Encourage respect for the other person Confront the problem Define the conflict Communicate understanding Explore alternative solutions Agree on the most workable solution Evaluate after time The Notes for this slide explain each of these steps. www.behaviour4learning.ac.uk 6

Underlying principles Active listening is an essential skill involved in both good teaching and effective conflict resolution. It is necessary to clarify opinions and clarify the situation if the causes of conflict are to be understood. Being non-judgemental is essential. Conflict resolution involves creating empathy. Solution focussed approaches can be applied to good effect. Long term solutions are more likely if the situation is revisited after a short time. www.behaviour4learning.ac.uk 7

Rights and Responsibilities Conflict can easily turn into violence and bullying which infringe the fundamental rights of children enshrined in The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child Article 19 requires teachers, under their duty of care (which is a common law duty in the UK), to protect children from violence and to prevent and treat instances of abuse. It is therefore an obligation on all teachers to resolve conflict as part of their professional responsibility. It is the responsibility of pupils to respect the rights of others in the school to be educated without suffering violence or fear. www.behaviour4learning.ac.uk 8

Activities to try Practise the seven steps for conflict resolution when you next encounter a conflict situation amongst your friends. When you have finished attempting to resolve the conflict, discuss how the protagonists felt and which of the steps you took to resolve the conflict were the most successful. With another trainee, carry out the short exercise on active listening described in the Notes. When you are next in school, find a teacher colleague who seems to avoid conflict better than most. Ask how he/she reduces conflict when it occurs. What is it about this person that is different and what does he/she do differently from others who encounter more conflict? www.behaviour4learning.ac.uk 9
