Page 12 - Empowerment Approach. Brain Clear: Agree Expectations

An example of keeping it real:

If I keep to these pro-social and pro-learning expectations:

The Positive Impact will be:

▪ People will feel safe around me

▪ People will enjoy being around me and want to spend time in my company

▪ I will feel good about myself as a learner

▪ I will feel good about myself as a friend and a pro-social member of the class and school

This is likely to help me become a confident, happy and successful member of the class.

By not keeping to our expectations …

The Negative Impact will be:

▪ Other people won’t be able to learn and achieve as well as they could
▪ I will not learn and achieve well

▪ Others will not feel so safe and happy around me.
▪ Others might not be so keen to spend time with me.

This may lead to me not feeling so good about myself and not doing so well at school.
