Sponsored by the National Institute For Dispute Resolution and the National Association for Mediation in Education

An invaluable staff and program development tool. The research references, discussion topics, training modules, and applications provide educators with a strong foundation for skill building and program development. I highly recommAnd this training manual to educators who are planning conflict resolution programs in their schools.
