Description: In this volume, students - and the teachers who have worked with them - tell in their own voices how they have learned to deal with conflict in schools. Then, experts in the field analyse these experiences and provide recommendations for readers in similar situations. This book teaches parents and teachers about effective conflict resolution programmes in schools, how they can make a positive difference and what they can learn from the failures.
