CONCLUSION

Conflict is a reality in every school. The question is not if conflict will happen, but how you will handle it. Teachers who appropriately handle conflict contribute to a school environment that productively deals with disagreement. This increases school collegiality and very likely can help retain good teachers that may otherwise choose to leave the profession.

Teachers cannot afford to believe that administrators can solve every problem in their schools. As demonstrated, there are different strategies for dealing with different types of conflict, and your knowledge of resolution strategies serves as an important guide for resolving conflict. Different conflict profile types will be more effective in different conflict scenarios, meaning no single conflict profile is effective in every situation. Your conflict profile indicates how you tend to approach conflict, but your results on the assessment do not prevent you from drawing on the strengths of other profiles in particular situations. The four questions that follow are application oriented. These questions will help you apply the contents of the chapter to a specific situation. The questions will also help you draw on the various qualities from the different profiles if they are effective means for resolving the conflict you identify.

List one conflict you currently confront in your school environment. Is it a relational or a resource conflict?

Is your conflict profile description an asset or a liability when dealing with this particular conflict?

What qualities from the other conflict profiles might you apply to help resolve the conflict?

What are some strategies, as explained in the chapter, that you might use to help resolve the conflict?
