Which of the following is typically NOT part of a comprehensive school conflict resolution plan?

• A. Curriculum
• B. Mediation
• C. Negotiation
• D. Evaluation

Answer: (C)

Comprehensive school conflict resolution plans are built around prevention, structured intervention, and ongoing evaluation. The curriculum component provides students with the skills to recognize, prevent, and solve conflicts through improved communication and empathy. Mediation offers a formal, facilitated process with a neutral mediator to help parties reach an agreement, which is a common and essential part of such plans. Evaluation tracks outcomes, allowing the program to be refined over time.

Negotiation, while a valuable skill that may occur during conflicts, is not typically listed as its own standalone component of the plan. It’s usually embedded within the curriculum or used within the mediation process rather than standing apart as a separate element.
