Creating Circle of Courage Schools
Van Bockern, Steve; McDonald, Tim
Reclaiming Children and Youth, v20 n4 p13-17 Win 2012
Dream what a school would be like in which the purpose is to meet the needs of children and the larger community so that all can lead a good life. Using the Circle of Courage[TM]--a model grounded in values of deep respect for the dignity of all--the authors of this article outline overarching goals and indicators that can turn this dream into reality. The authors assert that a Circle of Courage school is a place where the universal longing for human attachment (belonging) is met through relationships of trust and respect. In this school, the child's inborn thirst for achievement (mastery) is nurtured and the child learns to cope with the world in order for him or her to know that "I can succeed." (Contains 2 tables.)
