Extractions: News Tribune Elementary school children at East School are learning a grown-up lesson how to get along. If they get into an argument on the playground or in the lunch room, it's time for peer mediation. East School is one of three schools using peer mediation in Jefferson City. Children are taking ideas learned in peer mediation out to the playground to help keep the peace on their own, and parents are seeing the changes at home. Cory Cosby, a mediator at East School, said it's a "hit and fight" playground out there. "Once me and some other kids got in a fight with one boy. I'm not his friend now, but we learned to live together in the same school," Cosby said. Cory's dad is seeing changes at home since Cory has become a mediator. Cory and his older brother share a room and bathroom. "Mediation has helped my son get along with his siblings. They are learning to share," Terry Cosby said. Cosby said Cory tells his brother and sister to work things out when they argue. "Cory said, 'You know you need to work this out, but they're like, 'who are you'?" Cosby said.

Extractions: Conflict management. Professional. Review by Gary Evans. There are seven components that lead to the success of a mediation program. 1) The support of the school administrative team is absolutely necessary, even though it does not take too many enthusiastic teachers to initiate, implement and supervise the program. Introducing the concept to the staff at a staff meeting, (especially after a recess period), might include a brief overview of the advantages of such a program, a role play to demonstrate the process, followed by a question and answer period. A few key members could be selected to be responsible for the planning and coordinating of the program. 2) A very important part of the successful implementation of this type of program is an understanding of the concept by all members of the school community. Through brochures, articles, posters, letters and presentations to parents, assemblies and monthly updates in the school newsletter, the ongoing communication with all the partners in the program must be developed and maintained in order that it be perceived that everyone is working towards the same goal of peace in and out of the school.

Peer Mediation programs are designed to teach students personal responsibility and problem resolution skills that can last a lifetime. Many organizations can benefit from a Peer Mediation Program. Most of our school discipline problems are related to student interpersonal conflicts. Peer Mediation can provide a process for helping to manage disruptive or aggressive behavior and allow teachers more time to provide a quality learning environment.

The outcomes of peer mediation are to teach students lessons they will need as life long learners. This is a way for students to direct instruction and model to other students good communication skills. The site also discusses how important diversity is. It is important for all middle schools to embrace diversity and allow students to learn from each other differences. The site encourages all students to participate in mediation, and to use mediation to help students overcome the problems they face with the difference.

Extractions: news@seacoastonline.com STRATHAM - In the face of a conflict, a respectful discussion can be far more powerful than throwing punches or hurtful words. At least, thats what a group of Cooperative Middle School students are trying to teach their peers. Members of the group, made up of sixth- through eighth-graders, are called peer mediators. Their mission: To assist students in resolving their own conflicts. According to peer mediation coordinator Laurie Loosigian, the essence of the program is violence prevention. Mediators sit down with two or more students in conflict and help them to talk through their problems in a respectful, nonconfrontational way.

Extractions: Back to top Peer Mediation Has Power The troublemaker was a seventh grader who kept beating up another boy on the playground. In many schools it would fall upon teachers and administrators to separate them, sort out the stories, and administer discipline that had no guarantee of working, especially after the kids left school property. But at Carl F. Shuler Middle School, in Cleveland, Ohio, a teacher gave the boys another option: peer mediation. Sitting across from each other, assisted by two mediators their own age, the boys told their stories. Each related how the incident made him feel. In the safe, quiet space of the mediation room, the child who had been picked on started crying. The other child, who was intellectually low-functioning, was shocked. He reached over to hold his victim's hand. "I'll play nice with you," he promised. "No, don't play with me!" the other boy cried. Guided by the mediators, the pair brainstormed alternatives and agreed not to talk to each other for two weeks. A month later, they were playing together again-peacefully. To Alanna Meyers, the eighth-grade language arts teacher who runs Carl F. Shuler's mediation program, the session illustrates why peer mediation works: "Just by sitting through the process of listening to someone else tell his or her story, they learn. Because they come up with the solution themselves and agree to it, they have to keep their word. They then take that process outside the mediation."

Extractions: Newsletter Listen to the Children They learn to identify their feelings and needs, and they learn to ask why someone else is angry, and to listen to the answers. They learn that only by listening to each other can we live in peace and understanding. Calming down, silence and listening take the place of threats and posturing. They learn what it means to be active participants in a democracy that values and depends on their freely given input, and they learn to speak up for the rights and dignity of others. Too few Americans are asking for real community, international dialogue. Instead, we have assumed that quick military action means strength and that disciplined restraint and nonviolence means weakness. If we were teachers working with children, what would we say? Is it so different with adults and nations? Moving towards an international norm that says violence is not O.K. should not be left only to the playground. If we never start, we will never get there. somebody Why?
