Lesson Plan
Style Discovery Workshop Plan
Participants will identify their personal de-escalation style, recognize strengths and areas for growth, and practice trauma-informed strategies through individual assessment and collaborative debriefing.
A shared understanding of conflict management styles and trauma-informed de-escalation fosters a positive school climate, equips faculty and staff with practical tools, and promotes safer interactions with students and colleagues.
