Discussion week 5: Conflict Management, Civility, Collegiality: Anticipating and Managing Conflict
In this Discussion, you examine these potential issues. You create scenarios that may present these issues, and you develop strategies for addressing them.
To prepare:
- Review the Learning Resources related to conflict management, civility, collegiality, and anticipating issues in instruction.
- Based on the topics provided in the Learning Resources, create a scenario that could potentially arise in your professional setting in which students are in conflict with one another.
- Based on the topics provided in the Learning Resources, create another scenario that could potentially arise in your professional setting in which an instructor and student are in conflict with one another.
- Based on the topics provided in the Learning Resources, create another scenario that could arise in your professional setting in which an instructor and colleague are in conflict (have opposing views) with one another.
By Day 3
Post the three scenarios you created and propose strategies to minimize and manage instances of incivility related to these scenarios and include why you believe these strategies to be the most effective.
Use the Learning Resources and/or the best available evidence from current literature to support your strategies.
