Assess students’ ability to evaluate and select appropriate conflict‑resolution strategies for varied peer conflict scenarios common in grades 6–8 (e.g., bullying, rumors, group project disputes, friendship breakups). Tasks require analysis of scenario factors (power dynamics, safety, relationship history, cultural context), comparison of strategies (assertive communication, mediation, compromise, restorative approaches, adult intervention), selection of a primary and backup approach, justification of choices with likely outcomes and risks, and a brief implementation/adaptation plan and reflection prompts. Emphasis on ethical and developmental reasoning.
