Los Kitos & Santa Ana School District
get across
mediation message
The Santa Ana Unified School District
will be teaming up with Los Kitos Entertainment, LLC, in an effort to increase
student awareness of the value of mediation in conflict resolution.
As part of its Pupil Support Services, the Santa Ana Unified School District
has created a Peer Mediation Process for use when students find themselves
in a dispute. The Peer Mediation Process teaches students how to define an
existing problem, how to understand each other's point of view, how to brainstorm
to find a solution, how to write an agreement and how to acknowledge the solution.
The Santa Ana Unified School District is responsible for the education of
58,000 students, 91.4% of which are Hispanic. Los Kitos brings the mediation
message to the students in a colorful, bilingual poster that utilizes Los
Kitos characters to get across the essential points involved in the process.
