Student/Teacher-I worked with a student and teacher(s) to develop a plan
to help the student express concerns / needs in the classroom without being disruptive. I talked with the student to gather input on the urgency felt vs. actual urgency. The student checks in with me each week and things have gotten better. Grade Level-My principal and I worked with a grade level to discuss a concern, as well as talk out a situation that occurred that was causing some tension. Student/Student-We have had several incidents this year with student / student conflict. Sometimes these conflicts needed nothing more than being able to sit down and talk it out. We have held a few restorative circles this year with students to help deal with conflict. The circles have been productive and the majority of the time the conflict did not continue. Problem Solving-Since our school has multiple buildings and they are on opposite ends of the campus, we have had to work through issues such as supervision of students and transitions. My principal and I met with each grade to discuss concerns and possible solutions. We also met with enhancement teachers to do the same. Through discussions and some trial and error, we were able to solve most of the issues we were having. Also through these discussions our enhancement has moved to a solutions orientation when bringing conflict and issues to the administrative team. Parent / Teacher-I also worked over the course of a few months with a parent and teacher conflict. I have facilitated a couple of meetings and helped both parties come to a resolution both were okay with.
