Conflict Cycle- Nick Long

Conflict can escalate quickly and usually start with a trigger that is not a major problem....but quickly escalates into more and more hostility!

Begin to view conflict as a "stressful incident" ...kept alive by the reactions or inactions of others!!

Learning to "de-escalate" students is a critical skill when working in todays classrooms....

We can all learn to provide "EMOTIONAL FIRST AIDE" !!
