Overview
Conflict is part of every school, yet educators are rarely taught how to navigate it. Authors Becky Evers-Gerdes and Bryan D. Matera have the most practical guide with the answers. They provide educators with actionable strategies that improve communication and support healthier relationships with students, families, and colleagues. The result is a more connected school community where people feel heard, respected, and included.
K–12 educators, school leaders, and school counselors can use this book to:
- Comprehend different conflict types
- Learn skills to stay calm and get the most out of emotionally charged conversations
- Integrate practical, proactive strategies into existing routines and processes
- Understand and bridge generational gaps
- Read real-world case studies that span issues, grade bands, and stakeholders
