What is Leader In Me®?

Learn more about why we have offered Leader In Me for our students and why it is so important for who we are.

Leader in Me is a comprehensive learning program that builds leadership skills in students and creates a positive school culture that lays the foundation for students to reach unprecedented achievement levels. Based on Stephen Covey’s proven 7 Habits, students learn how to incorporate the habits to be more effective, goal-oriented, and ultimately happier and more successful in today’s world and in the future. Students are empowered to take their educational success into their own hands, teaching them to find their voice while interweaving academics, leadership, and culture. 

Students learn the 7 Habits and work collaboratively to practice them every day.

• Habit 1 – Be Proactive® – Teaches students that they are in charge of their success
• Habit 2 – Begin With the End in Mind® – Helps students learn goal-oriented planning
• Habit 3 – Put First Things First® – Students learn how to prioritize
• Habit 4 – Think Win-Win® - Gives students tools to help others succeed too
• Habit 5 – Seek First to Understand, Then be Understood® -  Teaches students how to listen actively
• Habit 6 – Synergize® - Develops an understanding of how students can work together
• Habit 7 – Sharpen the Saw® - Keeps students focused on healthy habits

Teachers in Leader in Me schools undergo extensive training to assist them in lesson planning that incorporates the 7 Habits so students are exposed to the practices daily. They are encouraged to bring what they learn home to parents who are also provided with training to reinforce school-based learning.
