COMMUNITY/CONSENSUS BUILDING
Action Final Project Outline
In order to improve community communication and relationships in a public high school in Chicago, it is important to develop an action plan that incorporates the principles of negotiation put forth by Fisher and Ury. To begin with, it is essential to create a safe and inviting environment where all stakeholders feel welcome to participate in the conversation. This may involve setting up physical space for dialogue, as well as establishing ground rules that encourage respect and open-mindedness. Once a safe space has been created, the next step is to foster a spirit of collaboration among all parties involved. This means working towards a collective vision for the school community and developing a shared understanding of the issues at hand. Finally, it is important to maintain open lines of communication and keep all stakeholders informed throughout the process. By following these steps, it will be possible to improve community communication and relationships in a public high school in Chicago.

School Counseling Professional School Counseling Until recently school counseling was more of a byword because most believed that the position could be filled by any qualified teacher, and, generally, it was.

The reason for this was that counselors in schools were not seen as a person who needed to deal with
School Uniforms There are many reasons why school uniforms are common in countries outside of the United States, and are becoming more important in the United States.

School violence has become an increasingly important focus of study in recent years, precisely because of its apparently increasing prevalence in the United States today. Violence perpetrated by young children against other young children has never taken the epidemic levels it does today. Many scholars have made the central quest of their research to determine why this is the case and secondarily, how to prevent this phenomenon. And indeed, the
