Your Assignment, Part 1 Peer coaching is designed to support students in achieving success in their classes and extracurricular activities. It does this by creating a collaborative learning environment, providing support during difficult times, and reducing stress and frustration. To do this, students seeking support are matched with fellow students who act as their peer coach. Sometimes students are looking for help dealing with peer pressure. Or they may need help collaborating with diverse team members. Sometimes the conflict between members prohibits anyone from getting any work done. Coaches might share their strategies for success, encourage their peers to reflect on their current habits and behaviors, and help them identify ways to overcome their challenges.
In this exercise, you will participate in training to become a peer coach at your school. However, first you need to demonstrate to the current peer coaches that you would make a good addition to their team. On the application form, they request that you write answers to each of the following questions.

1. Think about times in your life when you have used your refusal, negotiation, and conflict resolution skills. Describe your experience(s).

2. How effective was your use of refusal, negotiation, and conflict revolution skills in the experiences you described? what could you have done differently to improve the outcome?
