Lesson Plan

Conflict Conversations Blueprint

Students will learn and practice active listening and respectful dialogue skills to navigate disagreements, aiming to identify feelings, use “I” statements, and collaborate on solutions.

Equipping 4th graders with conflict-resolution tools builds empathy, reduces classroom tension, and fosters a supportive community where every voice is heard.
