Hana explored an innovative, classroom-based conflict resolution strategy in a 4th grade class in New York City, with particular attention to ways in which the social context of the classroom impacts conflict and power, as well as how the classroom community uses language to resolve conflicts. Hana used her classroom observations to develop a teachers’ guide that both outlines the process and practice of these conflict-resolution meetings and provides insights into best practices for classroom problem solving.
