Instructional Steps Script and Detailed Directions

HavestudentssharetheirmethodsofteachinganadultTheWISEWay.

Formgroupsofthreeorfourstudents.Assignonestudentineachgrouptobetheleader.

We are going to begin today by hearing or seeing how you taught (plan to teach) your parents or another trusted adult The WISE Way. Each person in your small group will have two or three minutes to share his or her method.

Assistthegroupsbyhelpingthemrotatefromstudenttostudenteverythreeminutes.

Iftimepermits,askfortwoorthreevolunteerstosharewiththeclass.

Introducethelesson. Now that we understand the four steps, we’ll expand our use of the four steps to situations involving conflicts between two people.

Input: ExplainhowtouseTheWISEWaywhenresolvingconflicts.Identifywhattodobeforetryingtoresolveaconflict.Explaintheimportanceofagreeingonagoal.

Identifywhattodobeforetryingtoresolveaconflict.

Displaytheposter,PowerPointsortransparencies,“TheWISEWaytoResolveConflicts.”

We’ll start with a simple example. Imagine you and a friend have made plans to go to the movies together on Friday. Your friend phones and says he or she is doing something else with another friend. You aren’t invited. You ask your friend if you can talk with him or her about it.

Before you begin to talk, it will help to use several of the skills and strategies we have learned.

• Check out how you feel. How might you feel?• Manage any strong emotions. • Use empathy skills to consider how the other person might feel.

When you talk with your friend, you need to be sure you are:

• listening carefully, and • ready to share your ideas, feelings, and thoughts in an I-statement.For P

Explaintheimportanceofagreeingonagoal.

Continuewithsteptwo.

Completestepsthreeandfour.

Start by stating what the situation is for you and what you want to happen. It may be different for your friend. Ask him or her to share his or her point of view. It is important to agree on the situation and the goal. If you don’t agree, keep talking until you can. Be sure to use the Check It Out criteria as you consider a goal to work towards.

Talkwithstudentsaboutthepossiblesituationandgoalforeachperson.Forexample:

• Situationandgoalforyou:WehadaplanforFridaynightandthefrienddecidedtodosomethingwithsomeoneelse.Youareangry.Yourgoalistofindoutwhyyourfriendisn’tkeepinghisorherpromiseandwhyheorshedoesn’twhattospendtimewithyouonFriday.

• Situationandgoalforyourfriend:Yourfriendtalkedwithyouaboutgoingtothemovies,butdidn’tthinkitwasafirmdecision.Then,yourfriend’sneighborofferedhimorheratickettotheballgame.Yourfrienddecidedtogo.Itwasabiggame.Yourfriend’sgoalistounderstandwhyyouaresoangryandfindawaytostayfriends.

• Situationthetwoagreedupon:YouandyourfriendinterpretedthediscussionaboutFridaynight’splandifferently.Yourmutualgoalistofindawaytobesureyoubothhavethesameunderstandingwhenyoutalkaboutthingstodotogetherinthefuturesothattherearefewerornomisunderstandings.

InvitestudentstotellyouifthisgoalsatisfiestheCheckItOutcriteria.

In step 2 of The WISE Way, you identify as many ideas or ways to reach the goal and use the Check It Out criteria to eliminate any ideas that don’t meet the standards.

Askstudentstosuggestideasthatcouldhelpreachthegoal.Forexample:

• Composeawrittenagreementwhenyouaregoingtodosomethingtogether.• Summarizewhatissaidsothatyouaresureyouunderstand.• Askathirdpersontolistentowhatyoudecided.

InvitestudentstotellyouiftheseideassatisfytheCheckItOutcriteria.

In step 3, take the remaining ideas and talk with your friend about what would happen if each idea were chosen. Then, select one and act on it. Each person has veto power.

The written agreement and asking a third person to listen seem like too much effort for this conflict. Probably just summarizing what is said to be sure there is mutual understanding will solve the conflict.

Step 4 happens after you have acted on your idea. In this situation, if the two people try summarizing and they discover that they still aren’t seeing things the same way, they may want to try a written agreement or ask a third person to listen. Or, they could go back and brainstorm more ideas.

I have another “Health News Break!” for you to take home. This news break describes the additional skills we have learned to use. Your task is to review it with a parent or other trusted adult and list situations where you think these skills will be helpful. They are not only useful in stressful and emotion-filled situations. They can make life easier in many different situations. Bring your list of situations back to class along with an acknowledgement that your parents or another trusted adult worked with you on this assignment.
