INTERACTIONS
Fall 2015 RA Training

WHAT IS MEDIATION?
What does mediation mean to you?
How comfortable or uncomfortable do you feel mediating conflict?
How comfortable or uncomfortable do you feel with conflict?
Do you prefer to avoid conflict at all costs, or do you feel comfortable
addressing a conflict after it arises?
IN WHAT WAYS DO PEOPLE
COPE WITH CONFLICT?
Avoidance
• Accommodation
• Competition
• Compromise
• Collaboration
CONFLICT
SHARING YOUR EXPERIENCES
For returning RAs, what conflicts have you seen between residents
that needed your attention?
For new RAs, what conflicts have you seen or been a part of in the
past?
Was there a solution? If so, what was it?
Was this situation handled appropriately or should it have been
handled differently?
MEDIATION DEFINITION
A formal dispute resolution process that
encourages face-to-face dialogue and
problem-solving.
A facilitator helps the parties communicate
effectively and reach a decision, even if that
decision requires the relationship to be
terminated.
A decision is made and follow-up ensures that
progress is made and that the issue is dealt
with appropriately.
WHAT DOES A MEDIATOR DO?
Sets-up the mediation (who, where, what and how?).
Provides the “ground rules” for discussion and maintains decorum and a safe
environment for dialogue.
Is an objective observer, questioner, synthesizer, role model, and a person who will
provide appropriate follow-up.
WHY DO MEDIATION?
Students are not communicating
effectively, especially when they are in
conflict.
Role-modeling dispute resolution is a
life skill.
RA as teacher and educator.
WHAT IS YOUR CONFLICT
MANAGEMENT STYLE?
Collaborating
Competing
Avoiding
Harmonizing
Compromising/Accommodating
WHY DOES THIS MATTER?
How you handle conflict personally may reflect
how you mediate conflict with others
Be mindful of how you handle yourself
before stepping into a situation with others
How can your style be utilized?
Is your style to avoid, avoid, avoid, or to
relentlessly push for what you want?
CONFLICT BRINGS CHEER

Empathy
Evaluation
Role
RA AS AN EDUCATOR
Students may report feeling lonely and disconnected.
Students have difficulty advocating for themselves,
solving their own problems and speaking up for what
they believe in.
Mediation teaches students to function more
successfully at Wentworth and in the world.
Mediation reinforces idea that conflict is not always
bad, but can be a learning and growing experience.
WHEN SHOULD MEDIATION
BE AN OPTION?
Conflict exists and at least one party is unwilling to
talk about it
Both parties express conflict to you but are unwilling
or unable to successfully talk it out with the each other
If you – as an RA – feel frustrated by a situation in
your community and how it has been handled
When a large group of people and perspectives are
involved (floor, hall, etc.)
If you are concerned that doing nothing will only make
the problem worse over time
BENEFITS OF MEDIATION
RA as helper and not fixer (you do not have a magic
wand!)
It saves time and teaches skills
Private and confidential (info only goes up, not over)
Less adversarial
Helps to preserve relationships
Little risk … agreements are co-created and
voluntary.
Enhances community and promotes dialogue
Alternative to handling issues through more punitive
measures
MEDIATION PROCESS
Ground rules
Confidential
Dialogue
One person at a time
“I” statements
