Definition of Conflict?

EDHS Conflict Resolution
• EDHS students were involved in a conflict situation the
week of Jan. 5th.
• The fight did not happen directly on school grounds but
our school became the target of a social media terroistic
threat.
• Thanks to our students, parents, teachers and community
this threat was prevented.
• People were PRO-ACTIVE and the suspect was
apprehended before school stared the following day.
EDHS Conflict Resolution
• List 3 types of conflict that you may experience here at
EDHS or in your life outside of school.
• Take 5 minutes to discuss with those around you and as a
class.
Daily Conflicts
• Here at EDHS we (administrators, teachers, counselors, security,
support staff, students and parents) have a common goal, and
that is to prevent conflict from happening or escalating.
• How can we accomplish this?
• By being PRO-ACTIVE!
Dealing with Conflict as a
Team.
1. Step one• Let an adult know of a situation you are aware off (you
may remain anonymous).
• Inform an adult of a situation that you are involved in or
might be involved with so they can help you (if you are
involved you can not remain anonymous, however we
will help you handle it before it gets out of hand).
• There are two sides involved in every conflict, we need to
hear both sides.
• We want to help, the only way we can help is if you let
us know!
Be PRO-ACTIVE
2. Step two• After an adult is aware of the situation both parties will
be contacted by our security staff, counselors and
assistant principals.
• A conflict mediation will be scheduled.
Be PRO-ACTIVE
3. Step three• Conflict mediation takes place.
• Both parties will be present, this will help get any
grievances out in the open in a safe, controlled
atmosphere.
• When we address the problem we can prevent the conflict
from escalading.
Being PRO-ACTIVE=Mediation
• If both parties do not come to an agreement, further
administrative action can and will be taken.
No mediation=
Consequences
• You will encounter conflict at some point during your life
but the key is to know how to handle it.
• You will not always agree with everyone but you can
learn to compromise.
• Conflict will make you a stronger individual.
• By learning how to properly deal with conflict, you can
be an example to those around you.
• Do not be afraid of conflict, it is best that you face it and
resolve it in a mature fashion.
Conflict
• You will be creating a poster reflecting our EDHS
conflict resolution protocol.
• Include pictures and ideas on how to prevent conflict and
how those who are a part of the EHDS community will
deal with conflicts that arise.
• This poster will be displayed in your classroom as a
helpful reminder!!!!
