Tribes Learning Community
Cerbat is building the positive environment for a community where
everyone commits to a better way of being with peers, students and
others. Tribes is based on four agreements:
Attentive Listening
Appreciations - No Put Downs
Right to Pass
Mutual Respect
Attentive Listening:
To pay close attention to one another's expression of ideas, opinions
and feelings; to check for understanding; and to let others know that
they have been heard.
Appreciations - No Put-Downs:
To treat others kindly; to state appreciation for unique qualities,
gifts, skills and contributions; to avoid negative remarks, name
calling, hurtful gestures and behaviors
Right to Pass:
To have the right to choose when and to what extent one will
participate in a group activity; to observe quietly if not
participating actively; and to choose whether to offer observations
later to a group when asked to do so
Mutual Respect:
To affirm the value and uniqueness of each person; to recognize and
appreciate individual and cultural differences; and offer feedback that
encourages growth.
