Teacher Sarah Button no longer teaches in the New York City Public Schools, but the Resolving Conflict Creatively Program (RCCP) is still in place at Patrick F. Daly School. RCCP cofounder Linda Lantieri is now director of the Inner Resilience Program. (Read an Edutopia.org interview with Lantieri about defusing stress in children.) More information about the RCCP can be found at the Web site for Educators for Social Responsibility.

I liked this movie because it helps resolving problems and shows how to react to a problem

RCCP

I read about this program in the book "Waging Peace in Our Schools" by Linda Lantieri and Janet Patti. These types of programs can only help our children. I teach at the high school level and am currently obtaining my Ed.D from Walden University. My emphasis will be that social/emotional learning can not only help students manage their emotions, but can then also help them to be more successful academically. I really appreciate the fact that Edutopia is sharing this information through its magazines as I hope the word will spread and school districts across the nation will implement this type of learning into its curriculum. Thank you so much!

Resolving conflict

The presentation is outstanding and very informative and the time was used wisely to demonstrate social emotional learning. Your students were excellent. Well done!

Resolving Conflict Creatively Program

I am eighteen and I stumbled across I messages by mistake. I was having an argument with my Mom. I told her I wanted her to stop yelling because she wasn't helping the situation. She walked away insulting me but she let me deal with the situation and finish it. I started looking for other ways for dealing with our agruments because I don't ever want my children to tell me that tears that you aren't allowed to cry are harder to wipe away as I told my mother.
