Mediation in (Special) Education
Over the course of a student's young academic life, particularly in Special Education, there may be disagreements between the family and the district in the direction of the child's education. While the conflict can take many forms, the intervention of a mediator can have positive effects in the short and long term for that relationship. Jason Harper, Mediator and ADR consultant in the field of education, will talk about the forms of mediator intervention within educational disputes.
Jason Harper is a private mediator and the founder of Harper Conflict Resolution, LLC. He specializes in Education and Employment/Workplace mediation while utilizing a collaborative approach. Jason serves as an ADR Consultant providing mediation and conflict resolution services to more than 50 districts (LEA’s) and charter schools. He is also a Lecturer in Law at the University of Southern California, Gould School of Law where he teaches Cross-Cultural Dispute Resolution. Jason has also provided mediation and conflict resolution training for organizations like Western Justice Center and the International Visitors Council, training adults from over twenty different countries. Jason has been recognized by the California State Senate and the United States Congress for his mediation trainings.
Jason served as the President of SCMA, one of the largest associations of mediators in the U.S. He is also one of the founding directors of Kids Managing Conflict, a non-profit dedicated to promoting conflict resolution programs for K-12th grade students.
