This resource focuses on teaching students how to resolve conflicts in a collaborative manner. It outlines the roles of a Mediator and an Actor in a classroom setting where students will learn to use their 'Connection Toolkit' to address disagreements. The toolkit includes essential processes like mediation and synthesis, which help students navigate conflicts by fostering stronger relationships and ensuring everyone's voice is heard. The document also explains the use of rubrics as tools for measuring communication effectiveness during conflict resolution simulations. It provides specific criteria for active listening, using 'I-messages', and maintaining respectful body language. Practical scenarios are included for role-playing, enabling students to apply their skills in real-life situations. The goal emphasizes respectful communication and the importance of providing constructive feedback to peers.
