Why did Julio return the money in the story?

Julio returned the money based on his personal belief that one should not take something that doesn't belong to them. His motivation was not influenced by the possibility of punishment or reward but by his internal values.

Why are class beliefs considered more effective than rules?

Class beliefs are considered more effective because they are broader, more universal, and easier to internalize. Unlike rules, which can change or increase over time, beliefs guide behavior in a variety of situations and encourage intrinsic motivation.

What are some key steps in creating class beliefs?

Key steps include involving all class members in the discussion, keeping beliefs simple and positive, ensuring they are applicable in the environment, and reviewing them periodically to keep them relevant.

What is the benefit of using positive language when creating class beliefs?

Using positive language makes the beliefs more approachable and easier for students to embrace. It shifts the focus from what not to do (negative rules) to how students should behave (positive behaviors).

How can a teacher guide students in understanding class beliefs?

Teachers can guide students by creating discussions that translate abstract beliefs into concrete examples, using activities such as 'Looks like/sounds like' to make the values more tangible and understandable.

Why is it recommended to limit the number of class beliefs?

Limiting the number of class beliefs to 3-7 ensures they are memorable and easy to understand. If there are too many, students may find it difficult to internalize and apply them consistently.

How can teachers ensure students fully understand and commit to the class beliefs?

Teachers can ensure understanding by engaging students in activities that explore the meaning of each belief, creating visual representations, and having students sign the belief statement to show their commitment.

What role does intrinsic motivation play in the context of class beliefs?

Intrinsic motivation is central to class beliefs, as these beliefs encourage students to act based on internal values rather than external consequences like rewards or punishments. This leads to longer-lasting positive behavior.
