Preparatory steps to take when considering the implementation of a peer mediation program include gathering information on programs in other schools, gaining administrative and faculty support, training a small group of faculty members in peer mediation, and selecting a representative group of students to be similarly trained. This pamphlet lists resources available for starting, maintaining, and implementing school-based mediation programs and lists schools in North Carolina that have developed such programs. A more detailed outline for building administrative and faculty support is also presented.
