16Mediators Role
•
Explain the purpose of the stage. The mediators may begin by giving an overview
of progress to date.
•
If an agreement is reached the mediators will need to provide the opportunity for
the parties to discuss the next stage which may include:
Writing an agreement that each party signs
o
Shaking hands on the deal
o
Reporting to the person who recommended the mediation
o
Parties’ Role
•
Cooperate appropriately – provide information about their proposal and accept
other proposals (or part of a proposal) as appropriate to the character’s role.
•
Hesitate appropriately when proposals do not meet character’s needs.
•
Demonstrate commitment to agreement.
Conclude Mediation
•
Conclude the mediation.
Agreement: The mediators thank the parties for their attendance and
o
congratulate them on reaching an agreement.
No Agreement: Acknowledge the effort of the parties for participating and
o
summarize what has been achieved. Encourage the parties to decide what
they might do next to resolve the remaining matters. If they have decided on
another mediation session clarify date, time and venue.
Thank the Adjudicator
After the mediation
It is important when the mediation is completed that the students are given an
opportunity to talk among themselves, guided by their teacher/coach, to identify what
they did well during the mediation and what they could have done differently. If the
students have become heated during the mediation, it is also important that they be
given an opportunity to unwind. One way to do this is for the teacher to introduce the
parties to each other by their real names and ask them to say something their
character says that is different from how they think.
