At your middle or high school, it's not hard to spot the teens who are at risk for growing into violent adults. They’re the ones disrespecting teachers, threatening peers, fighting in the hallways . . . or quietly seething in a corner. You know that teens who use physical or verbal violence to get their own way are hurting themselves. You know they’re creating a school climate that makes learning more difficult for all. But how can you help your students acquire healthy conflict resolution skills?

Bring Peace to Your School

Picture a workshop where your students are learning to solve problems peacefully. They’re being empowered to express feelings without aggression, look for win-win solutions, and handle criticism. But this isn’t a lecture! Your teens are getting hands-on experience with conflict resolution through role-playing. In other words, they’re discovering real-life solutions without real-life consequences.

Real Life Drama uses discussions, stories, interactive activities, and technology to deliver hands-on workshops that engage and transform teens. Our eight-session program includes:

• Identifying and Learning from Anger
• Managing Your Anger
• How to Handle Criticism, Part 1
• How to Handle Criticism, Part 2
• Actions and Consequences
• Setting Realistic Expectations
• Reflective Listening
• Resolving Conflicts

We require a MINIMUM adult-to-student ratio of 1:15, and we recommend a ratio of 1:10. We provide one teaching artist. For larger groups, additional adult supervision must be provided by the sponsoring organization. We recommend that you send the same students to each of the eight workshops. Real Life Drama is most effective when students experience all of the sessions. $250 is the cost for a single workshop. If you schedule all eight workshops at the same school during the same academic year, you’ll receive a discount, resulting in the price shown above.
