Administrators routinely encounter intense\, emotional conversations involving parents\, educators\, students\, and community members-often around high stakes issues such as curriculum\, student services\, equity\, and school climate. When perspectives are deeply dissonant\, conflict can constrain problem solving\, erode trust\, and constrain efforts to meet student needs. Too often\, leaders respond by avoiding contentious issues or relying on authority based approaches that escalate tension rather than resolve it. This interactive workshop will help school leaders develop the skills and mindset needed to lead through conflict rather than around it. Drawing on research from peace studies\, education\, organizational psychology\, and design thinking\, participants will explore the roots of conflict in schools and examine why polarization intensifies under pressure. The session will emphasize how conflict-when skillfully engaged-can become a catalyst for collaboration\, trust building\, and increased organizational capacity. Participants will engage in realistic case studies addressing common leadership flashpoints. They will apply a structured framework for navigating complex\, emotionally charged disagreements while keeping student needs at the center of decision making. Participants will leave with practical strategies they can immediately apply in their schools\, as well as tools to turnkey professional learning for their leadership teams-helping create cultures where constructive dialogue replaces avoidance and conflict becomes a driver of school improvement rather than division. Eligible for 3 hours CTLE credit. If district pays\, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.\nFlyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DRB7h8t0c8aKoo07uGyf5mkrncC4TCbW/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=5415835 URL:/event/conflict-agility-turning-school-tensions-into-collaboration-and-capacity-in-person-facilitated-by-robert-feirsen-ed-d-and-seth-weitzman-ed-d-830-1130am-2/ LOCATION:JEA Alternative School\, 31 Lee Ave\, Wheatley Heights\, NY\, 11798-1837\, United States CATEGORIES:Instructional Support Services Full Calendar END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
