This page is where we will post our video links and BRIEF videos.

This website offers different powerpoints for teachers to use to explain for kids what conflict is and different ways to solve the conflict. There is also a link for students to follow that gives them activities they can do to practice different conflict resolution strategies. Again this is good for K-3 students. http://facs.pppst.com/conflictresolution.html Leah Ruthven

This video is by some students who wrote a song on ways for students to solve conflicts. It would be useful with younger students K-2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duvXpJ3e6KE&feature=related Leah Ruthven

This website offers lots of material, lesson plans and links for "character education." I stumbled across the moral dilemmas archives ("Daily Dilemma" link) that were taken from real situations in middle/high schools. These could be very useful for classroom discussions. I guess "character education" would be alot more important than my math lessons...maybe I need to start making a sacrifice. [|http://www.goodcharacter.com] **James Bandura**

I'm sure Hank already knows this website from the National Crime Prevention Council. It offers numerous resources from disaster readiness to halloween safety.

**//Fresh Air// Interview with author Jonah Lehrer on fostering creativity**
Science writer Jonah Lehrer's new book, //Imagine: How Creativity Works//, explores where innovative thoughts originate and explains how some companies are now working to create environments where they're more likely to occur. This could be useful in keeping students interested, and so preventing conflicts that arise from apathy and disengagement. [] **Amelia Lanza**

A short one minute cartoon video on conflict resolution for kids. This is one of various. What is nice about them especially for ELL learners is that is has no words and kids understand the context of the video just by watching. Good for a mini-lesson or short class discussion. []

This is not a video, but a web site with some interesting moral dilemmas I wanted to share with you. Picio []

 * This web page, give us resources an ideas to demonstrate the possibility of love and connection through the celebration of diversity, truth, and full expression. The program is called “The challenge day” and was support by MTV. Look the videos! – Andres Rendon
 * This video called "Be the change that you want to see in this world" teaches us that we should not always have to wait for others or things to happen of their own. 2.07 min. One kid can change the world. – Andres Rendon

This is a short video to introduce "I messages" to young children - Andy McKay http://youtu.be/bYf3H70qldI

This is an animated video of one kid picking on another kid. There are no words. I would suggest stopping the movie at 4:00 because the kid getting picked on retaliates using violence (or maybe discussing what he could have done with older kids). It would be cool to show the "I message" video first and then stop the second video and have your class practice using them every time the other kid gets picked on - Andy McKay

This is a video (10 minutes) from the 1950's on ways to settle disputes fairly. They include; Compromise, Obeying the Rules, Finding the Facts and Finding Opinions. - Scott McMullan

I am not posting a specific link, but I highly recommend watching the HBO documentary PARADISE LOST 3. This documentary is about the brutal murders of three 8 year old boys in Arkansas back in 1993. The 3 teenage suspects quickly became known as WM3 (West Memphis 3) and spent 18 years in prison before they were released in August 2011. There is a lot of conflict in the story, but the main reason why I think it is so relevant is because of the moral dilemma at the end of the film. Jason Baldwin is forced to make a major decision... Be aware that this documentary is based on true facts and there are gruesome scenes of young children who have been murdered. - Scott McMullan

Here is a short animated video (1 minute) based on the messages of Gandhi to help move towards World Peace. - Scott McMullan

The first is a commercial supporting the anit-bullying campaign that is spreading globally. I like that without using words one kid can stand up for another. The second is a clip from a show addressing the kids involved in bullying in an Australian school. Casey Heynesdefended himself against a bully. The video went viral and this is the story of the bully. As this problem continues to be prevelant in schools commercials and videos may help people resolve their own conflicts. --Carin Larkin 1: []

Kathryn Shultz: On Being Wrong

http://www.ted.com/talks/kathryn_schulz_on_being_wrong.html

In this video, Shultz discusses the idea that people cling to their own idea of rightness. We understand from a global perspective that humans are fallible. But, when we look at ourselves we stop considering the idea we could be wrong. This creates a huge social problem because you think your beliefs reflect reality and conflict is created when trying to convince everyone else to think the same way as you. This leads to us to cling to our opinions and understandings and does not allow for the idea to learning from our mistakes. If everybody thought the same way, the world would be a boring place. In addition, because we “know” we are right, we assume that others are ignorant, idiots or truth distorters, which causes us to treat each other horribly while trying to get our rightness hear. She suggests that by giving in to our wrongness we will actually become creative thinkers, problem solvers and be able to simple treat each other better. Submitted by: Crystal Lang

Teaching Students to be Peacekeepers: http://www.nrepp.samhsa.gov/ViewIntervention.aspx?id=64

I believe that the best way to solve conflict in our schools is to teach students to be their own problem solvers. At a previous school I worked at, we implemented a Peacekeeping program, as outlined in the attached link. We experienced great results with our students. Not only were students able to become problem solvers by going through a training program if they were selected, but it was a good way to give responsibility and accountability to students who typically found themselves getting into conflicts. When they were named Peacekeepers for a particular quarter, they pushed themselves to avoid conflicts themselves.

A rap video to discuss conflict resolution with kids. Ollie is an octopus whose options to resolve interpersonal conflicts include: ignore, apologize, use your words, make a deal, walk away, choose another activity, wait and chill out, take turns. Great music and a healthy message that could be used as part of a lesson plan on the topic of conflicts. **Marcela Palacio** @http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duvXpJ3e6KE  This site provides activities, worksheets, videos, expert advice and a school directory to give parents and teachers info and ideas to help kids. The link I am attaching deals with conflicts in different ages and offers possible solutions. **Marcela Palacio** @http://www.education.com/definition/conflict-resolution/  <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"> This is a nice video for either adolescents or young adults. It shows them some optional reactions, and it also teaches them to be more assertive when they want other people to modify their attitude.

 * Article - Video Game Teaches Kids Conflict Resolution**- June 19, 2005....[]

My second resource is a video on Healthy Conflict Resolution by a psychologist named Gwen Randall-Young. In her promotional video on Conflict Resolution she emphasizes the importance of giving I messages instead of making it all about tje other person because then the discussion becomes about the other person. She talks about how vlaming the other person will lead to no where and the conflict will not get resolved. She is very clear when she speaks and has added good pictoral scenarios. Stop the video at minute 2:49 since the rest is about her promoting her other videos. (Sandra Canas) - []
