The Conflict Resolution Network has conducted conflict resolution workshops for teachers to teach them conflict resolution skills which include win/win strategies, creative response, empathy, appropriate assertiveness, cooperative power, managing emotions, willingness to resolve, mapping the conflict, development of options, negotiation, broadening perspectives, and the third party mediator. The teachers in turn teach these skills to students in the context of such courses as general studies, history, and English. In some cases, teachers include parents in the classroom presentations and exercises. An outgrowth of the program has been the development of peer mediation programs in some schools. Trained student mediators conduct mediation sessions for students involved in conflicts. The program reduces teacher-dominated, authoritarian discipline, helps students to manage their behaviors constructively, and introduces parents and students to new ways of resolving conflicts in the family.
