Start a Peer Mediation Program, a specific technique within the restorative practices framework, using Project PEACE! Empower students to resolve conflicts peacefully while fostering trust, confidentiality, empathy, and support. This comprehensive packet provides all the program forms needed to establish a successful Peer Mediation program for upper elementary and middle school students. This packet includes all the essential forms developed over 20 years of experience in peer mediation programs. Whether you choose classroom mediators or grade-level mediators, these flexible forms adapt to your program's unique setup. Where do you start? First, publicize the benefits of having a Peer Mediation program by using the PowerPoint Presentation in the Publicity Packet. Next, by selecting students using the Peer Mediator Selection Forms, you are sure to find the perfect candidates that are trustworthy, empathetic, and supportive! Peer Mediators are trained in effective communication and conflict resolution techniques using your own curriculum (only forms are included in this packet.) Students will become experts in mediating disputes among their peers. Using a mediation request form from the Mediation Process Packet, students can seek resolution for their conflicts, and trained peer mediators facilitate the process. At the Mediation Station, two peer mediators and a dedicated recorder guide the disputants through the resolution process. Each participant has an opportunity to express their perspective, fostering understanding and empathy. Together, they brainstorm reasonable solutions and select the best ones for implementation. Additionally, preventive strategies are developed to avoid future conflicts. Don't forget to collect valuable data with our Evaluation tools, enabling continuous improvement of your program.
