Information Session For Possible CRE APT
Fall 2013 & Spring 2014
Please join the Conflict Resolution in Schools APT on Tuesday, April 23 or Tuesday, April 30 at 6:00 in the 7th Floor conference room to talk about the work of this group and about the possibilities for a Fall 2013 & Spring 2014 APT.
The purpose of this APT is to learn about and use conflict analysis and resolution strategies to support the development of the requisite processes and conditions for the productive analysis and resolution of conflicts of children and youth primarily in elementary and secondary school settings.
Some of the possible learning objectives of this APT are as follows:
• Gain a thorough understanding of conflict resolution education (CRE) literature and practices in K-12 school settings including teaching/learning about conflict and conflict processes, social-emotional learning, nonviolence/violence prevention, anti-bullying, peer mediation, restorative practices;
• Understand and evaluate the existing research and literature on elementary and secondary school conflict resolution and violence prevention programming;
• Observe school CRE programming and interview practitioners in a variety of settings: school wide, in classroom, after-school, school system level; non-profit organization interventions;
• Continue ongoing work with Alice Deal Middle School peer mediation, restorative practices, and teaching CRE in classrooms or after-school;
• Develop CAR practice frameworks for working with students of different developmental ages, diverse backgrounds and students with special needs;
• Develop specific simulations, case studies and/or activities for students that support experiential learning in concepts and practices of CAR including conflict transformation
• To learn how school systems support/do not support conflict resolution/peer mediation/restorative justice education and processes.
