This highly interactive training will focus on:

• Hands-on training in the 2-Mediator, 2-Disputant peer mediation model
• Facilitating structured mediation conversations that help students identify underlying needs, take responsibility for heir actions, and develop mutually agreed-upon solution
• Skills needed to establish or strengthen peer mediation and student leadership opportunities that foster belonging, accountability, and a positive school culture
