As professionals working in schools, we are often expected to function as teams to meet the unique needs of the children, youth, and families we serve. This provides us the opportunity to work with people of diverse experience, perspective, and expertise. In this context, we will encounter conflict. How we engage this challenge will ultimately determine what is possible. Conflict has the potential to be productive or destructive. Our individual and collective experience with conflict is based on the choices we make in our engagement of this shared experience. Ineffective conflict engagement practices will often compromise trust, erode social capital, and challenge psychological safety. This may result in individual and collective disengagement from the pursuit of a shared objective and be manifested in the avoidance of, and unwillingness to, engage critical complex challenges. We can individually and collectively adopt practices and develop skills for aligning our actions and speaking with what we say we believe that there is value in diversity of experience and perspective. New learning, innovation, and creativity are born in the context of conflict. Effective and intentional conflict engagement practices have the potential to build trust, build social capital, increase the possibilities for innovation and creativity, and improve the capacity to address complex challenges. We can learn to leverage conflict to better serve the needs of the children, youth, and families we serve. In this viewpoint article, we will explore the role of conflict in shared learning, innovation, and creativity in service of children with special needs.

个性化教育计划团队成员的冲突参与。


作为在学校工作的专业人员，我们经常被期望以团队的形式发挥作用，以满足我们所服务的儿童、青少年和家庭的独特需求。这为我们提供了与具有不同经验、观点和专业知识的人合作的机会。在这种情况下，我们就会遇到冲突。我们如何应对这一挑战将最终决定什么是可能的。冲突可能具有建设性，也可能具有破坏性。我们个人和集体的冲突经历取决于我们在参与这种共同经历时所做的选择。无效的冲突参与实践往往会损害信任、侵蚀社会资本并挑战心理安全。这可能会导致个人和集体脱离对共同目标的追求，并表现为回避和不愿意应对关键的复杂挑战。我们可以单独或集体采取实践并培养技能，以协调我们的行动，并根据我们所说的，我们相信经验和观点的多样性具有价值。新的学习、创新和创造力是在冲突的背景下诞生的。有效且有意识的冲突参与实践有可能建立信任、建立社会资本、增加创新和创造力的可能性，并提高应对复杂挑战的能力。我们可以学习利用冲突来更好地满足我们所服务的儿童、青少年和家庭的需求。在这篇观点文章中，我们将探讨冲突在为有特殊需要的儿童服务的共享学习、创新和创造力中的作用。
