2018 Dayton Regional STEM School Innovation Summit

I gave this presentation at this symposium for teachers entitled "Mediating Civil Discourse: Classroom Strategies from the Field." This presentation was based on  the crossover I saw as both a teacher and mediator as a volunteer and provides participants with an overview of Transformative Mediation.

 

Through the presentation, participants explore how the underlying beliefs of the Transformative Approach can provide a framework for understanding not only conflict in the classroom, but also the increasingly partisan society we are living in today. More importantly, teachers are introduced to some of the tools that mediators use and learn how these tools can be utilized in any classroom, with the goal of helping students go from conflict to conversation about controversial topics.
