How do you handle conflict between two students?
Two students having a conflict is nothing new. Classes will be full of students who do not like each other. But, it is your job as an educator to show students how to model this appropriately. Share a protocol or consistent method that you have used over the years to back your answer.
"I had one class a few years back that had some serious issues with one another. I would discuss appropriate behavior among the class. But, when two students got into it, I pulled them aside after class. I ended up being the middle-person and the two students respectfully shared their grievances. Everything was out in the air, and I was able to mediate when things got heated. After the process, I went to the counsel to give her a heads-up of what happened, for liability reasons."
