Welcome
The Mediator Mentors Project at Fresno State is a
university-public school partnership in which future teachers,
counselors, social workers and school psychologists support the
development of conflict resolution skills in school children. At
California State University, Fresno, Dr. Pam Lane-Garon in the
Kremen School of Education and Human Development directs the
program with Karen DeVoogd, project Coordinator. Teachers and
students in the public schools receive 10-12 hours of communication
and conflict resolution training and university students coach and
mentor at lunch periods in elementary school or fifth period in
middle school. More than 7,000 children and teachers have
participated in the program!
