Faculty Training

LEARN THE STRUCTURE AND TECHNIQUES OF PEER MEDIATION AND HOW TO COORDINATE A STUDENT PEER MEDIATION PROGRAM AT YOUR SCHOOL.

Our first Faculty training of 2023 was a success! We are so happy to be working with schools from across the country and the world. Our near-future plans include training in Everett, Massachusetts, Akron, Ohio, and Bogota, Colombia.



Here are some comments from the Secondary faculty training conducted by Jelani Quinn and Nancy Kaplan January 11 and 12:


 
 

“The facilitators were amazing! They kept us engaged, and I appreciated their personality and humor. I am happy I added more information to my toolbox to bring back to my school."


 
 

“The role play and real time coaching (were most helpful). The videos were very good as well. The presenters were great and made this fun and engaging.”


 
 

“Role playing was a great value, and to get ‘hands on’ experience with it was greatly appreciated. Thanks for the wonderful training!”


“Thank you for all you do! This work is so important.”
