Vouchers Peer mediation is a negotiation-based strategy, in which students help to resolve conflicts among their peers. Students apply peer mediation strategies to help keep minor school conflicts from escalating into more serious incidents. Over time, effective peer mediation programs teach students alternatives to violence for solving personal problems or resolving interpersonal conflict. What is "peer mediation," and where did it come from? In any mediation process, an impartial third party helps two or more disputants come to a win-win, rather than a win-lose, resolution of conflict. In peer mediation, student mediators use an interest-based negotiation procedure, along with communication and problem-solving strategies, to help their peers settle conflicts without confrontation or violence. Peer mediation grew out of programs developed by child advocates and attorneys in the 1970s and 80s, such as Children's Creative Response to Conflict, developed by the Quaker Church; Resolving-Conflict Creatively; and the Community Boards Conflict Managers Program in San Francisco (Johnson and Johnson). How has peer mediation been used?

They would learn how to handle conflict in a way that would fit their age level. In the all-school level, I would establish a program that would speak to grades 1 through 12, depending on your school. This program would include teaching the children how to mediate with their peers. Then I would teach the teachers about Mediation and how they can man the program themselves without my assistance. My experience has taught me that this is usually a three year program. PEER (SCHOOL) MEDIATION MY TRAINING IN THIS AREA Basic 40-hour training at Notre Dame in South Bend, IN MY EXPERIENCE IN THIS AREA As Executive Director of Nueces County Dispute Resolution Services, I established a multi-year contract with the Corpus Christi Independent School District which is still in place. First, conflict management skills were taught in all classes. Then students were elected in each class to be Mediators. We then taught the elected children in each school how to mediate their peer's conflicts. This was a 9 to 12 hour process. Next, we held a 36-hour Training of Trainers where we taught the teachers how to teach the children these skills. Our intent with the teachers was to teach them this program so it could be firmly established in their school. They, then, would no longer need us, thus allowing them autonomy.

Excerpts from the article, "Student Mediation: Opportunity and Challenge," published in School Safety Magazine , Winter 1996. BY NANCY M. KAPLAN Students can learn and teach the valuable conflict resolution skills that are necessary for reaching mutually agreeable solutions to disputes and for creating lifelong benefits. Student Mediation: Opportunity and Challenge Most adults have been taught either by example or by instruction that confrontation or avoidance are effective ways to resolve conflicts.When these methods fail, parties that disagree often turn to the adversarial process in which each side tries to prove in a court of law that its position is right, and a judge rules on the matter and imposes a decision upon the disputing parties. Many people are beginning to realize, however, that there are benefits to settling one's own disputes.Furthermore, it is becoming increasingly apparent that disputes settled by judges or arbitrators often create even more dissension and animosity between the parties than did the original issue. Mediation as a means of resolving conflicts has gained credibility and acceptance in many areas of society, ranging from divorcing couples to warring nations. Teaching young people in school to use conflict resolution skills is producing significant results in reducing school confrontations and violence.Mediation training conveys the concept that each person is responsible for resolving disputes in a rational, peaceful manner. To young people who have not been reared in the tradition of solving conflicts through confrontation, avoidance or arbitration, mediation makes sense.

Conflict Resolution Education 2002 Summer Institutes Peer Mediation This workshop is designed for junior high school and high school educators interested in developing a peer mediation program. In peer mediation programs, students are trained to serve as neutral third parties to mediate disputes among their peers. Peer mediation programs: teach students to view conflict as a natural part of life, teach students to solve their own problems through improved communication, critical thinking and negotiation skills, reduce the time teachers and administrators spend on discipline, reduce the number of detentions and suspensions, promote intercultural understanding; and foster a climate within the school that is conducive to learning. This workshop will explore the development of peer mediation programs in secondary schools. It will teach the peer mediation process which involves: understanding origins and responses to conflict, role of mediator, communication skills and anger management, and the six-step process used to resolve disputes. This training equips educators with the knowledge and skills to plan, implement (including training of peer mediators) and maintain a peer mediation program for the school. Participants will receive in-depth training through active involvement in conflict simulations, discussions and presentation. This in-depth training is in the foundation philosophy necessary to understand the efficacy of conflict resolution principles and the processes and skills of conflict resolution necessary to implement and maintain an effective peer mediation program.
