A necessidade: Qual é o problema que você está tentando resolver?
Studies have found that safe, caring, participatory and responsive school climates tend to foster a greater attachment to school and provide the optimal foundation for social, emotional and academic learning for middle school and high school students. We hope to solve the issue of poor school climate (schools that are unresponsive to students social-emotional needs) through an intervention using empathy to engage youth and adults in a collaborative process to build peace and understanding among students.
A Solução: Qual é a sua solução? Seja específico!
Studies show that schools which invest time in purposeful conflict resolution programs show improvement in academic achievement, reduction in time spent in discipline, financial cost savings as a result of fewer absences, and an overall improvement in school climate. Through a partnership between the Nashville Conflict Resolution Center and Metro Nashville Public Schools, we will address this through a youth-led conflict resolution program in which a team of 12-15 youth will annually be trained to mediate conflicts amongst students, teachers, and other members of their respective school community. The program engages all stakeholders of the school community in a process that focuses on relationships, safety, and social-emotional learning. Our belief is that a core group of empathetic students can help create a school climate that promotes physical/emotional safety, develops positive student/student and student/teacher relationships, and supports students social-emotional needs.
O Modelo: Demonstre através de um exemplo específico como sua solução faz a diferença; inclua suas atividades primárias
We currently operate in 3 Metro Public High Schools. At one of our high schools, a group of 10 students, 1 teacher, and 1 administrator were identified last spring to participate in a 8-week experiential training led by seasoned mediators from our organization. Following the training, these students begin to advertise the opportunity to “mediate conflicts” for other members of the school. As students enter the school each day, a small dropbox allows you to drop a note inside if you have (or know of) a conflict with any members of the school that you’d like to address in a safe, private manner. Meanwhile, the group of “peer mediators” meet in a classroom once a week to reflect, share, and develop new learning. Youth and adults work together in a collaborative process and build relationships with each other and throughout the school.

Quais seriam os desafios impostos por esses concorrentes que impactariam no seu sucesso ou crescimento?
Currently, there are no peer-led conflict resolution programs operating in Metro Nashville Public Schools. While other agencies focus on anti-bullying efforts and reducing violence, no current program utilizes the process of peer-led mediation while engaging all members of the school community and outside community partners. The absence of any ongoing peer-led mediation program may be our greatest challenge as we must work to convince our partners to make an investment in an under-utilized approach.

IMPACTO SOCIAL
Temas relacionados à inscrição
Qual foi o impacto da sua solução até hoje?
In 2011, 41 youth from a Metro Nashville Public School, a local charter school and an after-school program for juveniles with substance abuse problems received training in conflict resolution & peer mediation through the Nashville Conflict Resolution Center’s youth program, “Planting Seeds.” Of the youth trained, 100% completed a written evaluation and 95% said that their listening, communication and problem-solving skills had improved and they were better able to manage conflict at school and home. In addition, 24 youth completed a written survey 1-3 months following training (59% of total youth trained) and reported that they regularly utilize mediation skills and would recommend the NCRC program to their peers.
Qual é a sua expectativa de impacto para os próximos 1 - 3 anos?
The Planting Seeds program hopes to train and develop 200-240 youth mediators over the next 3 years in 8 local Metro Nashville Public High Schools to handle conflicts between peers, teachers and other members of the school community. We believe our impact will result in a greater number of students increasing their listening, communication and problem-solving skills, a reduction in student discipline, and raised capacity of partnering schools to mediate disputes among students.

Nashville is a growing city for youth development opportunities that merges professional expertise of community members with school goals. As the success of NCRC's programs became more evident and the problem of negative social-emotional school climate continued to grow we felt this program was a perfect fit to help our schools succeed.
