Conflict Resolution is more than just a book of techniques for resolving conflicts. Conflict Resolution is a systematic program designed to show teachers methods that will help their students to ward off or even bypass many conflicts altogether. It also presents non-violent ways (assertiveness, negotiation, compromise and mediation) to resolve the conflicts that do occur. This program will take teachers and their students through five steps: developing good self-concepts, growing social awareness, acquiring communication skills, using techniques for conflict resolution and finally, developing respect and empathy for others. In addition, age-appropriate concerns will also be addressed.

Portfolios are a great place to keep all the records generated by the various methods of assessment, the different drafts accumulated during the writing process along with their prompts and rubrics, the checklists that document the observations of assigned-task performance and benchmark items such as end-of-unit tests.
