Goals of Peer Mediation
·
To decrease
violence and discipline problems in school by providing an alternative peaceful
method for conflict resolution. The results of providing peer mediation in
schools include: reducing the amount of time adults spend on disciplinary
issues and decreasing in school and out of school suspensions for students.
·
To improve
attitudes and behaviors regarding conflict, specifically: decreasing biases,
increasing positive conflict strategies, and increasing positive attitudes
toward addressing and dealing with conflict in non-violent ways.
·
To improve
school climate, specifically through increasing cooperation and caring and
increasing feelings of safety in school.
·
To improve
academic achievement by increasing attendance rates, reducing absenteeism, and
dropout rates.
