PEER MEDIATION AWARD
Each year the Heartland Mediators Association seeks nominations from Kansas and Missouri schools to receive the organization's Peer Mediation Awards. The nominees may be schools in grades Kindergarten through grade 12 that have active peer mediation programs. Heartland is interested in identifying schools that have implemented peer mediation as a means of resolving conflicts between its students. More fundamentally we are interested in schools providing a practical educational mediation experience for their students. These programs provide hands on opportunities for student mediators and students in conflict as well as others in the student body to experience or learn of the benefits of alternative dispute resolution.
