I-to-I: Integrating Conflict Resolution into the
Elementary School Community is an award-winning*
35-minute DVD, showing the successful conflict resolution
program developed and used by Friends School of Minnesota
since 1988. I-to-I shows the program as it operates
in three diverse school settings: Friends School of
Minnesota, an urban public school in Minneapolis, and
a rural public school in Brainerd, Minnesota.
The DVD is unique among training DVDs in that it
documents the conflict resolution process as it works
in the schools, rather than showing actors working from
a script. Seeing students solving problems that are
real and immediate underscores the effectiveness of
the program, and clearly shows the investment children
have in the process.
In addition to showing the techniques of Friends School's
conflict resolution program, I-to-I addresses the issue
of how conflict resolution fits into a school structurally.
Administrators and other school community members provide
insights and tips on how to smoothly implement an effective
program into a school.

Common Questions
Schools considering a conflict resolution program probably
have many questions:
• How do we find the time?
• How does conflict resolution fit with our discipline
policy?
• How do we keep the program going?
I-to-I answers these questions as teachers, parents,
and administrators are shown addressing the issues of
building and maintaining a program in their schools.
The Training Manual
Friends School's conflict resolution training manual
is the product of eight years' use of the program. It
outlines the steps of the techniques in a clear and
usable way, and addresses specific questions teachers
may have in using the program.
• What about shy children?
• What about disruptive kids?
• What about children who always make excuses?The
manual offers tips and advice from experienced teachers
about ways to handle these situations.
