Posted by CRE Assistant on Nov 03, 08
Readers might appreciate this video from the U.K.‘s Teacher.tv website.
The 15-minute video is in two parts, the Challenging Behavior Workshop for the teachers in this U.K. School and the training for the secondary school students. The training for the students talked about the students personal issues, trust, and how to manage themselves in conflictual situations. Additionally, they trained the students how to be peer mediators and how to open up and talk about their own triggers. The Superintendent of the Ridgewood School District in the U.K. expressed pleasant surprise at the success of the training.

Posted by CR Ed on Apr 01, 08
The Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office has released a new student peer mediation manual (34 page pdf) and a program coordinator’s manual (183 page pdf) supporting their SCORE (Student Conflict Resolution Experts) program. The coordinators manual “provides an overview of the program, and instructs coordinators on the steps to setting up the program from start to finish, and the methods and expectations for training their mediators. The manual also provides an extensive lesson plan for training, as well as sample exercises and role-play scenarios.” You can find both items via the CREducation.org catalog.
The Student Conflict Resolution Experts (SCORE) program is a student mediation-oriented violence prevention program, created and funded by the Office of the Attorney General in collaboration with local community mediation programs and school communities. Since 1989, more than 5,000 students have trained as peer mediators; these young people have mediated over 25,000 conflicts in schools across Massachusetts, with a reported 97% success rate.
