The Blueprint helps students, families and educators manage conflict
The Blue Print tool helps students learn to consider a disagreement from another person’s perspective. This develops empathy through considering the feelings of others. The people involved in the conflict work together to identify healthy solutions to conflicts.
The definition of a conflict is when two or more parties are having an argument or a disagreement about an item or a situation. During a conflict, there is no harm intended by any party.
Use questions during disagreement and problem-solving to help student understand how someone else might be thinking/feeling. For example:
○ How do I feel? How does the other person feel?
○ What caused my feelings? What caused the other person’s feelings?
○ How did I express/regulate my feelings? How did the other person express/regulate their feelings?
○ What could I have done to handle the situation better?
