Program Outcomes

1. Understand and implement the Six Full Value behavioral norms;

  • Be Here
  • Be Safe
  • Be Honest
  • Set Goals
  • Care for Self and Others
  • Let Go and Move On

2. Use these norms to co-create a Full Value Commitment with students listing behaviors and assets that promote the six norms, as well as distractors that get in the way of their successful implementation.

3. Understand and implement Calling Group. This is a formal process that provides opportunities for students to problem solve and to celebrate their successes, facilitated by educators and other trained staff.

4. Understand and implement goal setting. Two approaches will be used; the familiar SMART Goals model, and the Four Square approach (simpler and more accessible for some students).

5. Understand and implement Challenge of Choice. This structure provides opportunities for students to authentically participate in Full Value and classroom activities at their own comfort level. It supports intelligent risk taking in academics, extended school activities, career choices, and in relationships.

6. Understand and implement Control to Empowerment. This is represented in the form of a Likert Scale and defines the amount of autonomy granted to students by the teacher when participating in a Full Value Community.

7. Understand and connect Full Value activities with academic content areas ensuring that social emotional (SEL) learning to be woven into all aspects of classroom life.

8. Integrate best practice from existing SEL programs within the container of Full Value. This will offer educators the opportunity to continue to use elements of existing programs with a common language and process across classrooms and, as Full Value integration progresses, across grade levels.

9. Understand and connect Full Value with Mindfulness and implement basic mindfulness strategies in the school setting.

10. Develop an action plan for engaging parents in the Full Value model.
