Where am I now and where do I want to be?

Imagine if you where an impulsive, ten year old, Red, power driven, here-and-now, egocentric kid and had a teacher who was NOT stuck in a Green leadership style but actively judged your and everyone else’s behaviour, and did so openly on a scale of one to ten. At the end of each lession you got given a grade which you had to show your parents. And imagine if good behaviour not only received praise but even got rewarded - materially. And imagine if good behaviour not only received praise but even got rewarded – materially – and that bad behaviour was either completely ignored or completely stopped once and for all (see Introduction to three-step model). How good would you be?

From a moral development perspective (egocentric to ethnocentric to worldcentric to kosmocentric) what might you expect to happen in such a class after a nine month period?

In part four I talk to Joan Berland about leadership styles and fields of consciousness that motivate vertical development in the classroom.
