The Be Cool Series


Teaching conflict management from a student's perspective can help students "be cool" in many difficult situations. This series by James Stanfield is now available on DVD at the SERC Library. This series has modules designed for lower elementary, upper elementary, middle school and high school students. The program teaches the key elements of emotional intelligence: impulse control, empathy and self-awareness. Students are shown being challenged by a difficult person or situation and then modeling three possible responses to the conflicts. Topics include criticism, teasing, bullying, anger of others and one's own feelings of anger.
