piece of cake compared with the overwhelming task of handling my students' everyday
problems." Several years ago, however, after receiving formal training in conflict resolution,
mediation, and negotiation, Porro decided to confront these problems head-on by teaching her
students to solve their own problems. The result was a six-step conflict resolution process called
Talk It Out.
Designed for busy teachers, Talk It Out focuses on resolving real-life problems that occur in
most classrooms--teasing, put-downs, pushing, hitting, cheating, gossiping, refusing to share. In
this book, you'll read about Porro's experiences with teaching children how to Talk It Out rather
than fight it out. You'll get practical tips, lesson plans, step-by-step scripts, and other materials
that will be useful in introducing conflict resolution skills and helping students internalize them.
As students learn to deal with conflict on their own, you'll have more time for the lessons you've
planned, fewer complaints from parents, and less stress in your life. Best of all, your students
will have gained valuable skills that, like math and reading, will serve them the rest of their lives! This description may be from another edition of this product.
Anyone who has dealt with students who do not know to solve their conflicts in a peaceful manner ought to read this book. Barbara Porro outlines what to do when you are at your wits end. She even has handouts and a few lessons for you to try. Instead of getting frustrated and keeping it all locked up, Talk It Out coaches kids through the process to solve problems. Pick it up and read it. It might change the way you run your classrooms.
