New Haven’s value-based levels help the student take positive control of her life by teaching her to shift her locus of control from external (others control her) to internal (she controls herself).
The levels are not level 1, 2 etc. but are words which have special meanings: Safety, Expectation, Exploration, Insight, Integrity and Interdependence.
The second two levels begin with the prefix “EX”, as in the word “ex-ternal”, which suggests that the student is still being controlled or motivated by outside influences. The last three levels begin with prefix “IN” as in “in-ternal”, representing the student’s shift from being controlled, to taking control of herself.
Each level has a set of requirements which the student must complete before she is eligible to advance to the next level. Each level also has privileges which the student can enjoy once that particular level has been reached.
