Native education strives to develop cognitive, physical, social and spiritual competence. This holistic view of learning recognizes that all students can learn and each student must be given the opportunity to demonstrate competence in some area. Without opportunities for success, students will tend to express their frustration and lack of self-worth through inappropriate behaviours. Learning that is somehow connected to the everyday life of the student and the opportunity for student collaboration provide very powerful intrinsic motivators. In the Spirit of Mastery, success becomes " a possession of the many, not of the privileged few" (Bendtro et al, 1990).
