Status of 2001 Recommendations - Review of School Programs on Conflict Resolution

  The Partnership recommended that the schools systematically review, with student input, the effectiveness of peer mediation and other conflict resolution programs in the Schools.
Status: In 2003, APS Student Services conducted a review of peer mediation programs in the schools. This review included focus groups with participating students and staff. The results of the review were shared with the Partnership Board in November 2003. Based on feedback from these focus groups, Student Services is exploring providing more training for staff interested in peer mediation; more incentives for staff to serve as faculty sponsors; and providing increased Central Office and financial support for peer mediation efforts.

  Student Services staff also provided the Partnership with an update on a wide array of violence prevention services in the schools, including bully/harassment reduction activities, mentoring programs, and counseling.
