Principle-centered learning environments are the key to effective educational reform. Controversy and conflicting expectations have diverted educators away from a focused task. We have to create an environment of shared responsibilities. The energy must be shifted to empower students and create trust. In this ecosystem students will learn the Seven Habits and develop along the maturity continuum of dependence, to independence, then to interdependence My favorite quote from Covey is, If we create the environment that models the characteristics that we want in students, we never have to teach integrity, honesty, or trustworthiness. The key is to model these behaviors for children. This is an approach not another curriculum.
Currently I am involved in a teaching approach that follows many of Coveys ideas.The Responsive Classroom is a developmental approach that stresses the importance of consistency in building community. Nothing is assumed and all expected behaviors and guidelines are modeled by the teacher before the children participate. Rules are not dictated by the teacher, but are generated in collaboration with the children and their parents to assure ownership in the process. Five social skills are consciously built into this approach. Cooperation, assertiveness, responsibility, empathy, and self control are essential skills for becoming a successful member of society. These skills are nurtured and developed through the Responsive Classroom.
Common to both Covey Leadership Center training and the Responsive Classroom is the goal to empower a school district to train itself through implementation workshops and development of a mission statement. Both of these programs depend upon personal commitment of individual staff members who understand the concepts of personal empowerment, principle-centered learning, and the inside-out approach.
