Extractions: I can teach your class or your school Mediation skills. The class only program will be like a course that the students would take. 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 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.

Reach To Teach | Reach To Teach: My Job Shadow Journal peer mediation. Students in the High School for Teaching and Technology have served as peer mediators for all five schools within Hughes (highlighted by http://www.mwg.org/production/archive/reachtoteach/reach/shadow.html
Extractions: My Job Shadow Journal This was the first year that each junior was required to file a daily Ejournal (electronic journal) for the two weeks they were placed in an elementary classroom. Each junior sent their journals to one of the six junior teachers who read it and responded to questions or concerns. When the students came back to Hughes, they printed their journal entries as part of a job shadow book. Educational Job Shadow Ejournal Prompt #7 Shanels.mov My topic for today is Motivation. My teacher/mentor motivates her students to want to learn and participate in learning activities using both intrinsic and extrinsic motivators. Examples of intrinsic motivators include praising the children for good behavior and acknowledging the students' achievements. She will verbally say "Good job!" or "That's good..." to the students that exert desired behavior. In this way she builds the self-confidence of her students and they listen better and complete their work. Extrinsic motivators include a good behavior point system and rewards of special treats for those that follow directions or complete their "seatwork". These methods of motivation set the standard for what the teacher expects of the students in a simple way in which they can understand. The students know in advance that if they do what they're supposed to do, whether it is good behavior or completing their work, they'll be rewarded as a result. Thus, the students are motivated to take care of their business.

" Tyler threaten to beat up Richard. Richard said if Tyler tried to do anything he would get even ." Considerable instructional, administrative, and learning efforts are lost because schools are filled with conflicts that students and faculty manage poorly. The frequency and severity of conflicts seems to be increasing, so that for the first time, the category "fighting, violence, and gangs" has been found to be tied for the number one position with "lack of discipline" for the largest problem confronting local public schools (Elam, Rose, & Harris, 1994). 1. Create a cooperative context. 2. Teach students to understand (a) what is and is not a conflict and (b) that conflicts have many potentially valuable outcomes. 3.

Extractions: Peer Mediation During peer mediation, students who have undergone training in mediation techniques listen to fellow students describe a disagreement and then help the students to resolve the issue. The purpose of peer mediation is to defuse a situation before it escalates beyond a war of words to physical violence. The programs are effective because students best understand the types of conflicts that arise between their peers.

Extractions: Source: ERIC Clearinghouse for Social Studies/Social Science Education Bloomington IN., Adjunct ERIC Clearinghouse for Law-Related Education Bloomington IN. Mediation in the Schools. ERIC Digest. Concern about violence in the schools has made the study of conflict and conflict management an urgent matter for educators today. Mediation is one form of conflict management that is getting widespread attention in schools across America. Mediation involves a neutral third person, called a mediator, who assists the disputants in resolving their problem with the consent of all parties. It offers a risk free way to settle disputes for the parties involved in the dispute. No agreement, no deal. HOW SHOULD SCHOOLS ADDRESS THE PROBLEM OF VIOLENCE? Conflict is a normal, natural part of everyday life. The word conflict has its roots in the Latin word conflictus, meaning "striking together." Despite the violent overtones of its Latin translation, conflict and violence are not synonymous. However, unresolved and lingering conflict frequently leads to violence, interfering with productivity and the quality of life in schools and the community. Extensive data illustrate that instances of violence, including bias-related violence and disciplinary problems in schools around the country, are severely interfering with the learning environment of students. Almost 300,000 high school students are attacked physically each month and one in five students in grades 9 through 12 carries a weapon to school (Meek 1992, 48).

In 1966 David became a faculty member of the University of Minnesota and began training teachers to: (a) use cooperative learning groups to enhance academic learning and positive relationships among diverse students and (b) train students to resolve conflicts constructively. Shortly after Roger joined David on the Minnesota faculty in 1969 the Cooperative Learning Center was formed.
