About Tribes

At Redfield, we are proud to use the Tribes agreements of:

                            mutual respect

                            appreciations - no put downs

                            the right to pass

                            attentive listening


Tribes is a step-by-step process to achieve specific learning goals. These four agreements are honored by the entire Redfield community. They are posted in every classroom and throughout the campus.  Students are reminded of these agreements, and teachers model using the agreements on a daily basis.


Thousands of schools throughout the United States, Canada, Australia, and other countries have become Tribes Learning
Communities, safe and caring environments in which kids can do well!  Students achieve because they:

• feel included and appreciated by peers and teachers
• are respected for their different abilities, cultures, gender, interests, and dreams
• are actively involved in their own learning
• have positive expectations from others that they will succeed

The clear purpose of the Tribes process is to assure the healthy development of every child so that each one has the
knowledge, skills and resiliency to be successful in a rapidly changing world.


Redfield is proud to be a Tribes school, and all of our teachers are certified Tribes facilitators.
