Conflict In The Classroom
Why Teachers and Students Engage in Behavioral Battles
(and how to avoid them...the battles, not the students)
They're so darn obstinate! And not just the adults... It's the students too.
Yep, it takes two to tangle. It's very difficult for one person to engage in an argument. It takes two people who refuse to try to see the situation from the viewpoint of the other. Of course, we can't expect students to take the high road before us, so it's up to us to lead the way. We are teachers...of academics AND behavior and values.
How do we get caught up in these arguments and verbal battles with kids? How can we escape them, or better yet, avoid them altogether. The 3-part video below provides you an understanding of the classroom conflict phenomenon, and provides ways for both to leave the situation with dignity intact and feeling good about the situation (and the other person).
The Conflict Cycle:
Avoiding & Defusing Confrontation
With Dr. Mac's Behavior Change Interventions
Student-Teacher Conflict:
Youngsters with Disruptive Behavior Disorders, especially those with Oppositional Defiant Disorder and Conduct Disorder, have tense and inflamatory relations with authority figures.
Professionals working with them need to be fully cognizant of the nature of interpersonal conflict, how to prevent it, and how to defuse rather than escalate it.
In this 3-part video series, Dr. Mac explains "The Conflict Cycle" model that outlines why adults and ODD/Conduct Disordered youth often engage in escalating battles. He offers an extensive listing of strategies that stave off and de-escalate crisis situations.
