This web site is the result of multiple research initiatives funded by the Office of Special Education Programs, U.S. Department of Education, to study:
- conflict resolution and peer mediation in middle schools
&- the preventive effects of an anger management/social problem-solving curriculum for upper elementary and middle/junior high school students
These projects resulted in the following curricular materials:
Conflict Resolution & Peer Mediation
1. Working Together to Resolve Conflict curriculum (middle/junior high)
2. Working Together to Resolve Conflict peer mediation training manual (middle/junior high)
Working Together to Resolve Conflict series s a school-wide conflict resolution program that was tested extensively over a four year period. It has been used in over 100 school districts in the United States and world-wide.
Anger Management thru Social Problem Solving
3. Tools for Getting Along (upper elementary)
4. Take CHARGE! (middle/junior high)
We developed Tools for Getting Along, an anger management and social problem solving curriculum, over a six-year period and have implemented it with approximately 3000 students in over 100 classrooms. More recently, we developed Take CHARGE! --a similar program--for middle and junior high school students.
In response to multiple requests to make these materials available and provide consultative support and training, we include specific information at the Consultation & Training and Materials links.
We are pleased to be part of an ongoing endeavor to help young
people handle their social conflict constructively.
