Lesson Plan
Conflict to Connection Lesson Plan
Students will learn and apply a four-step conflict resolution strategy—cool down, empathize, brainstorm solutions, and agree—to turn peer disagreements into positive outcomes.
Teaching conflict resolution fosters a respectful classroom culture, equips students with lifelong social skills, and reduces disruptive behaviors by giving them a structured way to solve problems.
