Resolving Conflicts - Building Relationship: Teaching Students How To Resolve Problems Without Physical and Verbal Aggression

We assume that children are taught social skills at home an d come to school ready to benefit from academic instruction. The truth is that many students come from homes where they are not taught how to get along with others and participate in a group setting.

Conflict is a normal, natural part of living in a complex society. Learning to respect differences and learning to appreciate oneself is a key essential skill. This seven step program teaches one to look at the problem or issue from all perspectives and to create win-win situations or to be able to part agreeing to disagree. Learning to deal with conflict is an essential skill to live in society.

As educators we are professionally trained to teach students academic subjects. The first step in behavior management is to ensure that the curriculum is appropriate for the students. We have to develop a professional strategic attitude and learn to influence student behavior in an acceptable way to facilitate learning. Discipline is the adjustment of unacceptable behavior to acceptable behavior. Many students must be taught to accept responsibility for their behavior. This workshop shows teachers how to promote self discipline and help children learn to what they are suppose to do while in school. Students must be taught to be accountable for their behavior and Educators must model appropriate behavior.

Many of the questions or actions you may encounter wouldn’t be accepted in a multi-cultural society like the United States. But if you’re abroad in an area where people have had little or no contact with minority students, people, especially children, tend to be very curious. If somebody says or does something that is offensive to you, try to distinguish between a person who is genuinely curious about you and your culture and someone who has bad intentions.

If you know that people in a country have issues with your race, religion or sexual orientation you might try to make it a non issue as much as possible. This workshop discusses strategies to deal with being different while traveling abroad.

MONEY, MONEY, MONEY: How To Cope With The Economic Disparity When Traveling Abroad

Many students are overwhelmed with the poverty that they see while traveling abroad. Somehow we get numb to the poverty in our own country and feel that it is the person's fault. When we travel abroad, we tend to feel that the poverty is beyond the indivitual's control. Use common sense when traveling abroad. Just because someone asks you for money does not obligate to give it to them and just because someone is nice to you doesn't mean that you have to pay them. The question is Am I getting more in use value than I am paying in cash value should constantly be on your mind. Make every effort to afford financial transactions with so called friends. The best thing that you can do for an International Contact is to treat them with the same respect that you would treat your National counterpart and say NO when neccessary.
