CL4.1.f. Capacity to be a change agent

By

Students demonstrate the ability to accurately assess current conditions (i.e., the way things are) and have the ability to envision how things could be better (i.e., the way things ought to be). They recognize their capacity to be a positive change agent in their families, school, community, and the world.

CL4.1.e. Concept of happiness and success

By

Students adopt a positive concept of personal happiness and success that goes beyond wealth, status, and fun. Students believe they will experience happiness and feel successful when they: 1) Experience and express gratitude for all the things in their lives that give them comfort, pleasure, pride, or joy. 2) Derive pleasure and pride from their achievements. 3) Pursue their full potential (self-actualization) by acquiring knowledge and wisdom, creating fulfilling personal relationships, and engaging in activities that broaden their horizons and enrich their minds. 4) Find value and gratification in selfless service that makes a positive difference in the lives of others.

CL4.1.c. Values, beliefs, attitudes, and mindsets

By

Students demonstrate the ability to identify and understand their core values (i.e., what is really important to them), beliefs, opinions, attitudes, and mindsets and how they influence their feelings and actions. (For example, if the approval of others is a core value, they may be more vulnerable to peer pressure; or if they have a negative mindset, they may refuse to undertake new challenges.)
