About the Manual
Student & Teacher Version
This set of material for training students to be peer mediators includes a manual with or without teacher instructions. You would need one manual with teacher instructions for each instructor and as many student manuals as there are participants.
Students can be trained by teachers with a one-day workshop. The manual is based on an understanding of conflict resolution concepts as provided in the conflict resolution curriculum but includes some review of these concepts before focusing on the structured mediation process. Concepts and skills include the following:
- Understanding Conflict
- Confidentiality
- Effective Communication
- Listening
- The Mediation Process
Also included is a Peer Mediation Agreement form to document mediation activities.
What Teachers Are Saying
“I have used your materials to train peer mediators for next year’s 8th grade class. The students enjoyed the activities and the format is perfect. Sequencing is so important when students are learning new material, and the sequence of this program practically guided them through the process. I think you have a great product. The students feel very confident that they will be successful in their peer mediation.”
