This new criteria for having friends is stimulated by the teacher. The teacher is not asking for specific behaviors during feedback, only naming and rating them. Uncontaminated by rewards and punishments, this neutral communication attracts the students towards the positive behaviors that the teacher names. Empowered students enjoy taking responsibility for themselves and their group. The feedback stimulates self evaluation, followed by either self or peer correction .
Negative leaders stop misbehaving and begin to lead in a positive direction.
The students demand more of themselves when the classroom is driven by feedback. The result is a class with higher standards of behavior than teachers would think of asking. Empowered Discipline Restores Respect Empowered Discipline is a potent force because the message that problem behavior is not acceptable comes directly from the peer group, not from the authority figure. Since the Empowered Discipline teacher doesn't get into confrontations, students regain and maintain respect for the teacher and for learning. Like a doctor treating a patient, the teacher matches the feedback strategy to the style of misbehavior needed by an individual or group.
