Answer 1

Intervene calmly and objectively to help students involved in the conflict come to a positive resolution.

The teacher aide should listen to each student's perspective on the matter and acknowledge their feelings. Encourage them to express how they feel and why they are upset. After everyone has had an opportunity to share, guide them through brainstorming possible solutions and encourage them to come to an agreement on how to move forward.

It is important for the teacher aide to remain calm and impartial as possible and avoid taking sides or placing blame. Additionally, they should document the incident, especially if it involved physical aggression or bullying, and report it to the program director or other appropriate authority figures as needed.
