Leader in Me

Leader in Me is a whole-school approach to teaching leadership and life skills to students, based on Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. It helps children see that everyone has the potential to be a leader—starting with themselves. Through Leader in Me, students learn to: Take responsibility for their actions (Habit 1: Be Proactive) Set goals and make plans (Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind) Prioritize what matters most (Habit 3: Put First Things First) Look for win-win solutions (Habit 4: Think Win-Win) Listen before speaking (Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood) Work together as a team (Habit 6: Synergize) Take care of themselves and others (Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw) Leader in Me also helps schools build a positive culture, strengthen academics, and empower students to use their voices to make a difference. As a parent, you’ll notice your child talking more about goals, responsibility, leadership roles, and ways to solve problems peacefully. We invite you to partner with us in using the 7 Habits at home to build strong leaders together.
