Communication, Conflict Resolution, Cooperation
In the summer of 2000, The Learning Community School was one of the first schools in the area to adopt a new conflict mediation curriculum developed by the Asheville Mediation Center. This curriculum involves weekly lessons, exercises, games, and conflict mediation skills. The TEAM format provides a successful mechanism for handling conflicts that might arise at school. The TLC Board and faculty feel that the skills learned in the TEAM curriculum support and embrace the community focus of our school; therefore, we utilize and integrate this important knowledge into our school day.
