This project examines the classroom conflict management challenges K–12 teachers experience. The U.S. Department of Education released a January 2014 bulletin outlining their classroom conflict management position, providing teachers recommendations without providing tools and conflict management knowledge to effectively implement the recommended programs. Understanding the nature and components of conflict better enables conflict managers (i.e., teachers) to effectively manage and resolve conflict. Understanding the challenges teachers face when managing conflict enables practitioners to create practical recommendations for conflict resolution education. This project analyzed data from four focus groups of K–12 teachers (n = 21) from the northern Midwest. Teachers identified structural challenges (i.e., lack of parental or administrative support) to managing conflict. Findings indicate that comprehensive conflict management training and productive communication between all levels of the system are necessary to effectively manage conflict in the classroom.

它需要一个村庄：在K-12课堂中处理冲突

该项目研究了K-12教师在课堂冲突管理方面的挑战。美国教育部于2014年1月发布了一份公告，概述了他们在课堂上的冲突管理立场，向教师提供了建议，但没有提供有效实施推荐计划的工具和冲突管理知识。更好地了解冲突的性质和组成部分，可以使冲突管理者（即教师）有效地管理和解决冲突。了解教师在管理冲突时面临的挑战，使从业人员能够为解决冲突的教育提出切实可行的建议。该项目分析了来自中西部北部K-12教师（n = 21）的四个重点小组的数据。老师发现了结构性挑战（例如，缺乏父母或行政支持）来处理冲突。调查结果表明，在系统的各个级别之间进行全面的冲突管理培训和有效的沟通对于有效地管理教室中的冲突是必要的。
