OPMP: Back to Training!

The Online Peer Mediation Platform team is back to doing what it does best, working with school coordinators and students to create a peer mediation program.  Recently, OPMP had the pleasure of working with two schools to assist with the establishment of peer mediation programs. These schools included: Boys' Latin School of Philadelphia and Drury High School in New Adams, Massachusetts.

The training with Boys' Latin School included 20 hours of online training with the students and coordinator.  Although there were a few challenges, overall the students enjoyed the training and seemed to do really well with their assignments and role plays. Kudos to their coordinator for all his hard work to make the online training a reality!!

Here is the feedback from Boys' Latin School peer mediation coordinator:

The training provided great lessons and activities that helped students prepare to become mediators and take power in their own school.

At Drury High School, one of our OPMP trainers was able to go to the school and train nine students as peer mediators.  The students did a great job as new peer mediators!!

Here is the feedback from students about our training at Drury High School.

What was the best part of the training?

The role plays

roleplays

Increasing my problem solving skills

Learning different ways to look at people point of view

The roleplays

The food. Just kidding. I loved working with everyone to try and resolve the situations made with the role played mediations.

We had a great trainer and our role play was fun.

It was fun to get to act out the spots and everything.

Doing the roleplays I feel was the best part of training. They were really fun to do with my other peers.

Just having a great trainer it made it so much more enjoyable and I really feel like I learned a lot!

If your school needs online or in person peer mediation training or peer mediation coordination training, OPMP would love to assist you!
