Feedback for Mediators: A Special MCDR Project Funded by MACR

Feedback for Mediators

A Special MCDR Project Funded by MACRO

We are looking for Feedback Observer Role Players

   The Maryland Council for Dispute Resolution (MCDR) has developed a feedback process for mediators, using an hour-long mediation role play, which allows mediators to receive oral feedback both from the role players and from feedback observers who are themselves experienced mediators.  In addition, the observed mediators receive written feedback from the feedback observers.  This process allows for a confidential and supportive way for a mediator to reflect on the observations of the role play mediation, and to consider areas for growth. 

    The next “Feedback Day” will be offered on Saturday, March 27^th from 2 to 5 PM by Zoom.  It is open to mediators from all parts of Maryland and to mediators of varying mediation approaches. 

    Because it will be funded by a MACRO grant, it is free for all to participate; mediator feedback observers will each receive an honorarium.  MCDR asks mediators interested in serving as feedback observers to have at least 5 years of experience as a mediator.

   For more information or to express interest in participating as mediator, role player, or feedback observer, please contact:
