Abstract	In response to the rising levels of school conflict, the present study investigated a new approach to conflict resolution for middle and high school students using interactive drama and role play called the Win-Win Resolutions program. The standardized curriculum delivered within the school setting includes strategies for self-control and anger coping, self-management of feelings, and interpersonal problem-solving. Participants included 2,440 students using a pre-post survey methodology. Results indicated middle and high school students showing a decrease in their levels of relational aggression, and high schools students showing a decrease in their levels of physical aggression. Furthermore, high school students indicated an increase in their levels of effective communication while both middle and high school students exhibited an increase in their general knowledge regarding positive conflict resolution strategies. Implications and recommendations for school-based conflict resolution programs are offered. (Contains 2 tables and 3 notes.) (As Provided).
