Instruction
start drafting together a 5 page, double-spaced memo on what you would do with the Sanford High situation. In the memo, talk about what you see as the issues in the case, and what steps would you recommend as a mediator to address the conflict(s) - think especially about the themes of this course as you do so (emotions, trust, culture).
While the Sandford High chapter is based on the Third Side, you don't have to use that framework here. I'm more interested in having you apply "A Nested Theory of Conflict" (Dugan) to analyze the conflict(s) and then, from the other readings, from this class or others, what would you suggest should be done to address the conflict(s) and why. Think of it as a memo you are writing to the various parties that lays out your analysis and action recommendations.
(If you are interested in learning more about the Third Side - which is the 10 roles that the community can play to contain, resolve and prevent conflict, check out the website (Links to an external site.))
