Solving Misunderstandings Calmly

Misunderstandings happen constantly between students, and without tools most either shut down or dig in. This resource gives students calm scripts for being misunderstood, correcting a false assumption, and finding where the confusion started.

What's Inside

• Practical scripts: for partner conflicts, group project tension, or friendship repair
