The program recognizes that students can solve their own problems and that students are responsible people. The Goals and Objectives of the Peer Mediation Program include resolving minor peer disputes that interfere with the education process. We want to build a stronger sense of cooperation and school community. The program hopes to improve the school environment by decreasing tension and hostility. Through the mediation process we will build communication and practical life skills.
Mediation is a process used to resolve disputes.
Students voluntarily come to Mediation to solve their problems. The mediators are neutral and cannot make others solve their problems. Mediators help people work out their own agreement. Disputants come to mediation to deal with problems that are important to them. They must feel free to talk about their problem.
