School site conflict programs provide training for peer-to-peer
student conflict mediation from a trained adult facilitator. Student
conflict mediators help disputing students find their own resolutions.
Conflict mediators gain confidence in their leadership and communication
abilities and provide models of effective communication and cooperation
for fellow students.
Conflict mediation
is separate from the school disciplinary program, but serves as an
intervention and opportunity to diffuse a conflict before it becomes a
bigger problem. Students that want to be involved should contact the
Conflict Mediation adviser at their respective campuses actively
participating in the program.
