The methods I found were conflict mediation, peer mediation groups, friend or buddy systems for new or struggling students (struggling referring to academically and behaviorially), and also group work activities. The value I see in these is that not only is it easier for the teacher to individually help each student, the students learn respect and appreciation towards their peers and their teachers. Also, they learn valuble life skills such as negotiating and making compromises.
In my research I found a book that covers this approaches methods in the aspects of education.
" the foundations of human relations (psychodynamic, humanistic, and cognitive-behavioral approaches), human relations attitudes(empathy, respect, and genuineness), communications (cultural, nonverbal, verbal, and written), conflict resolution, and special issues (humanization, diversity, groups, mentoring, and stress issues)."
I think this sums up what the approach can do for education purposes and why it is valuable.
