The materials in this manual are designed to help workshop leaders prepare for and present a workshop for school board members on managing conflict in the conduct of educational governance. The workshop helps board members develop and apply a framework for understanding conflict and introduces alternative approaches for managing it. The manual consists of six sections: an introduction; three sections on planning, presenting, and evaluating the workshop; a selection of resource materials; and a booklet for workshop participants. The discussion of planning contains information on the focus and scope of the workshop, familiarization with resource materials and equipment, workshop presentation techniques, and suitable grouping of participants. The presentation section includes sequential descriptions of workshop activities, leader focuses for each activity, and instructions for conducting the activities. The resource materials provided include a paper on the concepts underlying conflict management, a discussion of conflict between boards and superintendents, and masters from which transparencies for projection at the workshop can be reproduced.
