From Conflict to Conciliation

How to Defuse Difficult Situations

By: William W. Purkey,John J. Schmidt,John M. Novak

Conflict is inevitable, but educators can work together effectively if they understand how to defuse difficult situations before they escalate. This resource describes the Six-C process, a conflict resolution method that allows educators to take progressively more assertive steps as necessary to resolve disagreements. Based on research and easy to remember, this approach helps readers handle challenging situations using the least amount of time and energy. Illustrated with many examples and scenarios, the six steps are: - Concern: identifying actionable concerns - Confer: expressing concerns in nonthreatening ways - Consult: reviewing and clarifying the situation collaboratively - Confront: considering consequences and giving clear warnings - Combat: taking sustained, logical action - Conciliation: mending the wounds and restoring relationships Focused on preserving relationships while resolving disagreements, From Conflict to Conciliation can be used in any situation or setting, from the classroom to the community.

Developing Inviting Schools

A Beneficial Framework for Teaching and Leading

By: William W. Purkey,John M. Novak,Joan R. Fretz

Over 400 schools throughout the world have adopted Invitational Education to foster innovative thinking, sustained positive action, and the creation of socially and emotionally safe schools. As educators are now involved in an epic rethinking of what they do and how they do it, Developing Inviting Schools provides a dependable guide for improvement. Written by two of the creators of the Inviting Schools movement--Purkey and Novak--along with Joan Fretz, who works with public schools, this book updates and extends the construct of invitational learning to assist today's teachers and leaders. The authors present a simple but not simplistic framework that offers real-life responses to such challenges as faculty morale, school safety, conflict management, community involvement, student behavior, motivation, and school success. Use this resource to create, sustain, and enhance the social and emotional climate of your school. Book Features: A defensible theory of practice based on the community values of intentional care, respect, trust, and optimism. A deep dive into the basic assumptions that guide life in schools. Guidance for developing and maintaining positive school climate initiatives. Practical examples of how Invitational Education works in real-life situations. A fresh and innovative approach to a positive social and emotional learning environment.

Becoming an Invitational Leader

A New Approach to Professional and Personal Success

By: William W Purkey,Betty L Siegel

Invitational Leadership is a fresh and innovative model based on a single theoretical framework. The model shifts from emphasizing control and dominance to one that focuses on connectedness, cooperation, and communication. Based on sound philosophical and psychological assumptions, Invitational Leadership has been tested and successfully applied by leaders in numerous fields, including administration, business, nursing, dentistry, counseling, and other professions. Invitational Leadership is the basis for the International Alliance for Invitational Education, a network of over a thousand professionals from all 50 states as well as Great Britain, Canada, China, South Africa, and countries throughout Central and South America. William Purkey and Betty Siegel have written much more than a guidebook to becoming a healthier and more effective leader; they proffer a radically profound, compelling argument that it is time for people in positions of authority to forge a new kind of relationship with others based on dialogue, respect, and collaboration. This insightful work is long overdue in an age of “might makes right,” and contains great wisdom in promoting solid values found in various democratic and spiritual organizations. Supervisors and coaches, CEO’s and shop stewards, managers and parents — anyone and everyone who deals with others, take notice. This is a truly inspirational book in its invitation for all people to join together in a shared vision of promise and greatness.
