The win-win approach to solving conflicts, which has become popular in the business world, should be a natural for the school environment. Win-win thinking can foster a cooperative school climate by meeting educators' and students' needs for dignity, belonging, and respect.

Bluestein describes simple and unobtrusive shifts that teachers can implement in their classrooms to create a more positive climate in which power struggles are replaced by cooperation and mutual respect.
