Administrators and faculty members deal with conflict daily. Unfortunately, most have not been taught how to deal with these inevitable situations, and as a result, their interventions may exacerbate the situation, not alleviate it. Conflict in the classroom can be cross-cutting across generations and modalities of learning. The strategies for addressing conflict within the classroom can look different for each independent situation and depend on the student, faculty member, and institution.
