CADRE has created the CADRE Continuum of Processes and Practices, which describes ADR practices in terms of both discrete categories and multiple dimensions. This work is relevant to the general mapping and development of the ADR field in special education. Join us to review CADREs work and to assist in extending this approach by identifying additional helpful continua.
We will also consider how dimensional thinking, as opposed to mutually exclusive "either/or" categorization can be applied to aspects of mediator practice and style. Ultimately, the goal is to provide consumers and referral sources with the most valuable information possible in considering mediation, mediators and other dispute resolution options.
