Leilehua’s Peer Mediation Program
Do we collect data?
We try to…
DATA COLLECTION
• Mediations completed (Who was serviced and issues mediated)
• Follow-up mediation session evaluations (Has the conflict
been resolved? Have you kept to the Agreement? Is
another mediation necessary?)
• Counseling services provided (Who Ms. Lum serviced and
issues counseled that did not warrant mediation)
• Classroom Presentation Evaluations on
Conflict Resolution and Anger Awareness Lesson (What
did you learn? What did you like BEST? What can we
IMPROVE on?)
• Peer Mediator Evaluations (What have you gained from being
a peer mediator?)
Thank you for inviting us to share our ideas on promoting peace in
our School. We appreciate your time, service, and commitment to
the children of Hawaii.
Call us or come by for a visit…we are always available to speak
with you about Peace and Education.
We look forward to another productive year of serving others.
We invite you to join us!
Peace out,
