The Way

In less massive conflict situations in which I felt, pupils and students could possibly independently resolve the conflict, I also always tried to solve students their confrontation among themselves. I have to continue monitoring the situation and only intervened in the situation when the dispute threatened to escalate. Some sixth grade but increasingly joined massive verbal or physical disputes. In such situations, as far as I could observe or by teachers to support have been asked, I took then the role of a conciliator. I have performed with the involved talks and tried to the pupils or students in conflict resolution to assist. Was important that students come even on an idea, they can solve the conflict situation maybe for me. I have, If possible, the students accompanied only on the way to conflict resolution and supports.

They had to only take part or take my support, if they even wanted it also.

The measures and offers”were the from these situations out resulted, then for the students required and no longer on a voluntary basis.
