Abstract
AbstractThe effectiveness of conflict resolution and peer mediation programs developed by community mediation centers in fourteen elementary, middle, and high schools was examined and compared with three schools without such programs. Teachers and other school personnel were interviewed and surveyed by mail, providing both qualitative and quantitative data. Positive impact was found on school discipline systems and curriculum. Teachers gained skills useful for teaching and class management. Schools developed enlarged visions of teaching students to take responsibility for their own actions. Problems identified by school personnel are analyzed, and six elements essential for successful programs are proposed.
