To provide time for practice. Model A self-contained classroom where conflict resolution strategies are used. The complete school addresses conflicts via conflict resolution strategies. Parents are often involved as well. Community-wide Model Students are taught concepts such as due process, the rights and responsibilities of individuals, how problems are resolved in courts, etc.
Parents are highly involved, as are other community members.
Which model to use depends upon local needs. If most of the staff is in agreement but the community is not, then it is wise to start with a school-wide model. If the staff is not supportive, then start with the in-class model. Summarize Acknowledge speakers point of view, feelings, etc. Any policy that is implemented needs to be monitored.
