• Tailor-Designed Training [hours vary]: training designed to fit the specific needs of a business or organization.
• School Attendance Mediation Mediator Training [15 hours]: This training is an intensive, participatory introduction to the School Attendance Mediation or the SAM program, which prepares participants to be SAM Mediators and coaches them on how to initiate and administer a SAM intervention program for their own community public school systems. The focus is on providing mediations to families and their students who have exhibited a chronic pattern of absenteeism. The training introduces conflict resolution theory and teaches the techniques for conducting an effective and productive SAM mediation which gets students back to school and learning. The emphasis is on changing student behavior through non-punitive measures. The training provides simulated learning experiences by including a mediation role-play day with positive, non-critical coaching designed to improve the participant’s skills in an non-intimidating environment.
