Theory of Constraints Handbook - James Cox Iii [536]
When these solutions are needed because of conflicts or to address negative consequences, children of all ages are able to take ownership of responsible choices without losing face. This “accountability with dignity” is sustainable because it is intrinsically created rather than extrinsically imposed.
The same Socratic tools work in a classroom to give children ownership of what they are learning. When students derive their own answers, it engages perhaps the most important ingredient in education: the student’s wish to learn.
As these simple, robust tools continue to combine with the collaboration of all who want to meaningfully touch the future, TOCfE will enable more and more children around the world not only to become responsible and productive adults, but also to engage in everflourishing life-long learning that, like success, is not a destination but a journey.
