Your Assignment, Part I
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 resolution skills in
the experiences you described? What could you have done differently to improve the
outcomes?
3. Think about times in your life when you made a collaborative decision. Describe
your experience(s).
4. For each scenario listed below, is a collaborative or individual decision
appropriate? Explain your answers.
● Deciding whether to build a new baseball diamond at a nearby park
● Deciding which college to attend after high school
● Deciding how to best help a friend struggling with depression
Your Assignment, Part II
The next part of the application form describes a situation in which a student is
asking a peer coach for help with communication strategies to use in a particular
setting. The student is asking about a scenario in which someone underage is at a
party, is offered a bottle of beer, and does not want to drink it.

Conduct Your Own Research
Review Study 1.4.2: Communication Strategies, and then conduct research on
further communication strategies that could be used in this scenario.
1. List three different sources you used during your research.
2. Describe the communication strategies you would suggest and how each applies
to this scenario.
Your Assignment, Part III [skipped]
Congratulations! Based on your answers above, you were accepted to the peer
coaching team. All new coaches are required to attend a training session either in
person or online. Part of the training is to work through a variety of situations by
writing skits. If you are attending the in-person training, work with one to three other
coaches to write five short skits (2 to 5 minutes each). If you are attending the online
training, work independently to write the skits. Each skit should demonstrate the
following specific skills:
● Skit 1: refusal skills
● Skit 2: negotiation skills
● Skit 3: collaboration skills
● Skit 4: conflict resolution skills
● Skit 5: how to ask for and offer assistance and respond to a person
empathetically
At least one of the skits needs to involve a peer-pressure situation, and another skit
needs to involve avoiding gang activity. Keep in mind that each minute of speech is
equivalent to about 100 words.
If you are attending the in-person training, perform the skits for your fellow peer
coaches. If you are doing the training online, record a performance of the skits and
submit them to your teacher. These can be audio or video recordings and could
involve drawing out the scenarios or using computer software to animate the
Tips for Success
Here are some tips to keep in mind as you complete your assignment.
● Review the studies in Unit 1 before answering the questions.
● Supplement your own research to learn more about refusal, negotiation, and
conflict resolution skills.
● Do a final edit of the documents you have created, including checking spelling
and grammar, before turning in your assessment. Make sure you have answered
all questions sufficiently.
● Consider if you will need to work with others as part of a team to complete your
project.
