| Summary: | This compilation of 12 conflict resolution models is an attempt to provide a comparable overview of approaches that teach conflict management and peacemaking skills to K-12 students, teachers, counselors, and administrators. They have been selected for inclusion because they have been used in many schools around the United States. Each is classroom oriented, and each seeks to enhance responsibility and problem-solving skills. Many teachers and counselors are familiar with more than one approach and often combine elements of various models when teaching. Some models focus more on process, others more on communication skills or on respecting and understanding others as well as oneself; some link personal conflict situations with issues of international concern. All models foster peacemaking skills by developing respect for differing opinions, teaching empathy, and by developing collaborative problem solving skills. They empower students to find their own innovative approaches to conflict management and thus to develop self-esteem and decision making skills. (KM) |
