SUMMARY:Conflict Resolution With a Power Conscious Lens
DESCRIPTION:The phrase “I’m sorry” alone does not effectively address or resolve underlying issues\, and the fear of consequences often prevents individuals from being honest or taking full responsibility for their actions. In this workshop\, we will explore alternative approaches to conflict resolution that go beyond superficial apologies. The focus will be on shifting the culture within the entire classroom\, fostering an environment where accountability and open communication are encouraged. By prioritizing relationship-building and promoting a positive\, change-oriented mindset\, this session aims to equip educators with the tools to create a supportive atmosphere where conflicts are resolved constructively and with mutual respect. \nRegister Here
