Conflict De-Escalation Strategies
Conflict can occur any time, any place in normal circumstances. These days, many people are under a lot of stress with too much work, too little work, working while having kids home all day, being unemployed, and the unknown. Being under so much stress and pressure will ultimately lead to conflicts. The purpose of this Luma Learning Strategy is to focus on conflict de-escalation strategies.

Interaction Types
For decades there has been discussions of interaction types in education. (Anderson, 2003) Most interaction types observed in driver training traditionally are learner to instructor or learner to content. Moreover, most interaction time with driver training and orientation is synchronous or at the same time. This Learning Strategy is going to help you think about ways you can hold training without a physical classroom.
Interaction Time
The following Lesson is broken down into two different interaction times.

Instructional Procedures for Synchronous Training
(or at the same time without a classroom)
(or at the same time without a classroom)
- Meet in a webinar technology, like LumaLive.
Ask learners to turn on their videos so you can connect with them.
Record the session.
Ask students to post in the chat box or in shared notes how they currently deal with conflict. Collect these and copy them to a Google or Word doc that you can share after class.- Ask for students to share strategies that really worked for them. Have them tell stories and share examples.
- When they are done, share the De-escalation Strategies Slides. Compare what they generated with what is on the list.
- Have them write their top five strategies that plan to use to de-escalate heated situations. Optional: After a few weeks, meet back up to see how the strategies are going. See who tried any of these strategies and ask how it went.
Instructional Procedures for Asynchronous Training
