Life Trax Productive Conflict Resolution Program –
Whole School Approach................
Life Trax’s Productive
Conflict Resolution Program – Whole School Approach
is one of the most comprehensive approaches to conflict
resolution education in the country. The number of staff-training
hours, the integration of peer mediation and restorative
justice/discipline programs, and parent and community outreach
set it apart as a quality resource for creating safe, caring
and just school communities.
The PCRP – Whole School Approach serves to train
and educate students, teachers, administrators, parents
and school resource officers, K-12, in a broad range of
problem solving processes and relationship building techniques.
The program is geared to affect whole school cultural change
through a comprehensive package of training and education.
This program provides the entire school community with
a common vocabulary with which to discuss conflict, cooperation,
and caring. Then, in progressive steps, a philosophy of
productive conflict resolution is disseminated throughout
the school using professional training, classroom activities,
coaching and printed materials.
In this systemic approach the entire community is addressed
in a variety of forums and in a number of different ways.
As the whole culture of the school community is aligned
with principals and practices of productive conflict resolution,
change begins to take place.
