What is Peer Mediation?
The program
involves Mediators working with their peers to resolve conflicts
in a peaceful and nonviolent manner. The program is designed to
intervene in conflicts before they escalate into serious fights
or confrontations. The program will also give a group of
students the opportunity to expand their leadership and
communications skills while serving their peers as Mediators
|
Why is
Mediation necessary in our schools?
The club
increases communication among students, teachers,
administrators, and parents. The program also reduces school
violence, vandalism, and suspensions. It encourages students to
resolve their own disputes by developing listening, critical
thinking, and problem solving skills.
