Conflict Management in Schools

This course recognizes the pivotal role educators play in achieving this balance. Teachers are not only bearers of knowledge but also architects of a conducive learning environment. Understanding that each school is a microcosm of society, replete with ever-shifting hierarchies and dynamics, this course equips educators with nuanced approaches to comprehend and address conflicts.

Description

To live in society requires one to successfully conduct oneself through the daily conflicts and challenges of life. A school's primary function is to prepare students, teachers, and parents to adapt and overcome the challenges and struggles of a world full of rapid changes and interpersonal conflicts, contributing to the development process of the individual.Conflict cannot and will not cease to exist, as it is intrinsic to human behaviour and an integral part of moral and emotional growth. Therefore, conflict is present in all schools. It is important to face conflict and resolve it with skills to manage it properly and constructively, establish cooperative relationships, and produce integrative solutions. Each school has a micro-level society, in which relationships are primarily defined based on relative hierarchical positions, and, yet, these are dynamic, constantly reflecting changes. Since school environments are different, to deal with conflicts inside the school’s micro-society, teachers need to find approaches that help them understand the circumstances more effectively, they need to identify which strategies better apply to the conflict and that make better use of their strengths and weaknesses. The teacher has a central role to play as far as school conflict is concerned and to successfully handle conflict and pass on that knowledge to students, the teacher must seek to learn the know-how embedded in conflict management theories, apply it to the school situations.

Methodology & assessment

PREPARATION

We inform participants of the details of the training and prior requirements in relation to the learning objectives and methodologies of the course, as well as the composition of the class with the participants' origin and function.

We send them any digital applications and/or software they may need to install on their equipment, whenever necessary.

We provide the participants with prior technical and documentary support and create group communication support for follow-up before they arrive at the training venue.

TRAINING DEVELOPMENT

Learning is always mobilised under the values of the European Union, to improve participants' skills so that they can spread knowledge and promote creativity to their students, peers and staff.
All practices follow the Quality Standards for Erasmus+ Key Action 1 Courses, as well as our quality certification by the Portuguese Ministry of Education since 2001.

- The training methodology involves theoretical, simulated practical and participatory components, using digital tools and resources, support material and the production of evidence for dissemination.
- Pedagogical methods use learning in focus groups and peer activities, with an emphasis on sharing good practice.
- Use of collaborative processes that promote mutual learning and cooperation between participants, through role-playing activities, co-operative work, activities and discussions participated in and moderated by the trainer, using real examples, case studies, simulations and relevant study visits.
