Four Ways to Solve a Conflict

I find that teaching directly some skills for resolving conflict help the learning climate in my classroom.  Most solutions fit into four categories: passive, aggressive, passive-aggressive, and assertive.  I want my students to learn to be assertive: telling the truth respectfully.

This is a printable copy of a larger anchor chart I create when teaching problem-solving skills in an upper elementary class.  I refer to this chart when discussing hypothetical situations and possible solutions.  I want students to realize that they have control over their responses to conflict and that some responses will be more effective than others.
