ED 644 Alternative Dispute Resolution in Schools

(3 credits)
This course examines the bases of conflicts in schools; the range of strategic choices available for managing conflict, including negotiation and mediation; and the use of these strategies to effectively settle disputes and manage conflict in various school settings, such as disputes over special education placements or those involving student disagreements. There is a special emphasis on building relationships among all members of the education community, rather than using traditional adversarial methods, such as litigation, to resolve conflict.
