PEER MEDIATION

By Fred Schrumpf, Donna Crawford, and Richard J. Bodine. This well-organized resource shows how to plan and conduct an effective peer mediation program. Thirty activities (completion time: 10 to 90 minutes each) teach mediators to handle situations involving prejudice, cliques, cross-cultural conflicts, and other problems. Trainees learn techniques for defusing anger, improving communication, and promoting peace. The guide furnishes explicit instructions and reproducible forms for staff/student orientation and program sponsorship. The workbook includes role-play exercises, worksheets, and sample forms.
