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?)
