Conflict With Authority

PRODUCT SUMMARY

For sale in U.S. and Canada only-- From teachers at school to adults in their community, the actions of students often come into conflict with adults around them in ways that are often equally unintentional and completely on purpose. In Conflict With Authority, students will gain valuable insight as how to best deal with situations where they find themselves butting heads with authority figures in their everyday lives through two engaging vignettes. In "Just Having Fun," the antics of a group of rowdy teenagers attract the attention of the police. How should the officer and teens deal with each other? And in "It's the Rule," a student entering class is stopped by his teacher and told to remove his bulky coat, which is a violation of school policy. What should he do? Part of the Conflict Resolution for Students DVD Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online.
