Friends School of Minnesota's training and support
services have been designed to address the needs of
the entire school community in implementing a strong
conflict resolution program. Drawing on our experience
with the program at Friends School and on our outreach
work with diverse schools, we have identified factors
crucial to success in starting and maintaining a conflict
resolution program. By including representatives of
the entire school community in the process, by providing
useful and focused training, and by providing ongoing
support, Friends School can help to build conflict resolution
into the culture of your school or organization.

Past participants say. . .
This was a great presentation of a good program. I like the simplicity of the process and that it can be used for very small children.
Very practical information. Easy to understand and hopefully to put into practice!
After the workshop I feel confident that I will be able to apply it to my teaching and present and propose to our school.
I will change the way I look at classroom behavior, management, and conflicts.
Friends School is a great model to follow!
Information sharing--Friends School program
is described and your school's needs are discussed.
Consulting--Staff from Friends School meet with
a small group including the principal, teachers, social
worker, parents and other staff. We discuss your school's
needs and outline a strategy for integrating conflict
resolution into the school. Major goals include making
time and building support for the program. We can also
work with your school to assess program effectiveness.
Training--Friends School's training team conducts
half or full day training sessions. The Friends School
conflict resolution model is introduced and participants
gain practice in the process through experiential methods.
We help each school adapt the program to meet its specific
needs. Training includes a copy of the I-to-I DVD
and training manuals. Options include: introduction/materials
for classroom work on conflict resolution.
On-going support and technical assistance--Friends
School conflict resolution staff meet regularly with
team leaders in schools to address needs. Team leaders
visit Friends School and observe program in operation.
Friends School staff available for support by telephone
or email.
