Several things stand out as strengths. Outstanding conflict resolution skills are taught at the early stages. Problem solving and situational leadership is stressed amongst peers. These phenomenal life skills are often lacking in adults, let alone 9 year olds. Secondly, the child co-facilitates the conferences, leading us through the areas of goal setting, self correction and action planning. It has helped reinforce that our son is both responsible and in control of the results. Phenomenal follow up on assignments and homework is monitored by our teacher if 2 assignments are missed, we are called. So far, we have not been made aware of any extracurricular activities, which is my only area of disappointment.
