Excellent book. Lays out how to set up a mediation program in a school.

Students Resolving Conflict: Peer Mediation in Schools

I've been in the mediation field and training since 1991 and this is by far the best, most comprehensive and well organized book available. The nitty gritty of mediation has been well thought out and presented in a way that is straightforward and practical. The school environment can be a tricky one in which to implement mediation, but the scope of forms, advice and practical experience makes this guide a "can't do without" item. I highly recommend it to anyone serious about starting, improving or trouble-shooting a peer mediation effort in any setting. If all schools used this guide, peer mediation would be a feature of our school culture, not an oddity of progressive and safer schools.
