| Welcome to Mediate's new Great Reads Book Club! by Colin Rule Mediate is now convening conversations focused on recently published conflict resolution books from popular and academic presses. Each gathering will be hosted and include a live hosted interview with the featured author followed by comments, questions and discussion. These book club gatherings are open to anyone, but do require pre-registration HERE. We are starting with Amanda Ripley’s new and stunningly good book High Conflict: Why We Get Trapped and How We Get Out, just published by Simon and Schuster. Peter Adler will be host and interview Amanda and then open the floor for discussion. This online book club gathering is on Friday, June 25, 2021 at 1pm EST. |
| Changing Standards by Clare Fowler Mediate.com has been around for over 25 years! During this time, we have published nearly 20,000 articles and watched the mediation field grow throughout the world. We have also seen mediation practice standards change and improve, which is the topic of this article. |
| NEW: K-12 Dispute Resolution 20-hour Training This training is designed for those working with children and families. There is emphasis on school-related conflicts. Any school staff, faculty, administrator, or parent who is resolving disputes with students will benefit from the communication and de-escalation strategies provided in this training. This is a blend of theoretical understanding (“Why is this conflict escalating?”) and practical solutions (“Here are 5 steps for reaching an agreement.”). You do not need any dispute resolution experience for this course. This will teach you the basic processes for resolving an academic dispute, such as facilitated brainstorming and mediated discussions. Featuring Ken Cloke, Nina Meierding, and Clare Fowler as trainers. |
| Mediators Like Online Mediation And Other Verifiable Facts by James Claxton This post provides an overview of some findings from an empirical study on online mediation.
