Test educators' ability to evaluate conflict‑resolution strategies for Grade 6–8 group projects by applying criteria for fairness, efficiency, and maintenance of peer relationships; compare and critique approaches (negotiation, mediation, restorative practices, teacher facilitation/arbitration), analyze trade‑offs and power dynamics, apply rubrics and scenario-based judgments, recommend evidence‑based adjustments to workload distribution and assessment, and predict short- and long-term impacts on equity and classroom climate.
