Product description
Empowering Educators to Tackle Conflict Head-on
Butterworths' Managing Conflict in Schools: A Practical Guide is the definitive resource for dealing with conflicts inherent in educational institutions. By arming educators with an understanding of the nature of conflict and step-by-step means to resolve these challenges, this publication allows them to usher in positive changes in their environments.
Robyn Jacobson and Alan Rycroft are each incredibly well-versed on this topic, having worked as mediators, labour arbitrators and in, dispute resolution. Both authors have extensive hands-on experience in schools and universities, each having been heavily involved in the management of private schools and in the instruction of professional mediators.

A Product Unique to Canada
Several U.S. analyses and practical guides on this topic exist, but there has yet to be a Canadian-specific manual on resolving conflicts in the education system that has been written from a professional mediator's perspective. Managing Conflict in Schools: A Practical Guide fills that gap.
By dealing with the principles that underlie conflict, this guide provides an answer to educators who want to take charge of the conflict resolution process and make a difference in their schools.
A Must-Have Book For:
- Principal seeking to create a harmonious environment in your educational institution
- Vice-Principal who often has to deal with disciplinary issues where conflict tends to be commonplace
- Teacher charged with maintaining a productive instructional environment
- Non-teaching staff whose conflicts offer their own unique dynamics
- Parent who must deal with difficult, emotionally charged struggles for the well being of your child
