Empowering beliefs are beliefs based on developing an internalized sense of control in kids, rather than to control them with rewards and punishment.
Arrowwood wants students to:
* Be responsible for owning and solving their own problems, with some guidance.
* Do more thinking than the adults
* Face logical consequences instead of punishment whenever possible
* Learn to make a connection between their infraction and the action taken - a logical connection
* Learn to make decisions and then live with the consequences of those decisions |
