Peer mediators

On Tuesday 5 June we had a teachers only day focused on learning about and implementing a peer   Mediators program into our school.
I found the I statements a really good way for connecting with feeling and even used it with a student in my class later in the week to get across how his defiance made me feel. It seemed to really help.
The format of the sessions that the mediators will have seems pretty straightforward. I think given enough training and the program having a lot of encouragement by all of the staff it could have some great effects on the break time environment.
