This book offers not only a hands-on training agenda that can be adapted to primary or secondary schools, but also a step-by-step approach to introducing peer mediation to administrators, faculty and staff, students, parents, and the community. The authors have included comprehensive guidelines and forms for everything needed to initiate a peer mediation programme, market it, train participants, and evaluate and expand an existing programme. Many forms are available that can be modified to the specifics of any school and programme. Frequently asked questions are addressed, and many suggestions provided to follow up the training and implementation of the program. This is an excellent guide for teachers, counsellors, administrators, or anyone wanting to introduce students to the benefits of peer mediation
