Conflict Resolution Mini Unit | Social Emotional Learning

Description

Are your students constantly arguing about little things? Are you always the one to have to help them figure it out before it becomes something bigger?

This Conflict Resolution Mini Unit is a week-long unit that helps your students learn to recognize conflicts, use calm words, and solve

problems, without having to get the teacher.

This resource gives you everything you need to explicitly teach conflict resolution in short, meaningful lessons your students will actually enjoy. Each day builds on the last, helping kids recognize when they are in a conflict, steps to solve them, and how to stay calm when you can in one!
