Since then I continued exploring the topic, and today, I understand that student empowerment is the attitudinal, structural, and
cultural process whereby learners gain the ability, authority, and agency to make decisions and implement change in their own lives and the lives of other people, including students and adults.
RP aids in the embracing of
cultural differences by offering an equitable
process whereby all members of a community feel valued and heard, and in turn, are more likely to bring their «best self» to the community.
