Each year, fourth-grade teachers nominate four students from their classrooms to go through peer mediation training. This begins in the spring of their fourth-grade year and training is completed by October of their fifth-grade year. These peer mediators, or conflict managers, help other students solve their problems by following a proven and researched based conflict resolution model. They meet with their peers during lunch, under the supervision of the counselor. This program build tremendous leadership skills. Last year the peer mediators were instrumental in achieving Double File Trail's goal of becoming an Anti Defamation League's recognized "No Place For Hate" campus. In the 2009-2010 school year, 17 fifth grade students will complete their training, and are very excited to begin their positions as conflict managers.
