The Leader in Me is a whole-school Transformation model that acts like the operating system of a computer, it improves performance of all other programs.  Based on The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, The Leader in Me produces transformational results such a higher academic achievement, fewer discipline problems, and increased engagement among teachers and parents.  The Leader in Me equips students with the self-confidence and skills they need to thrive in the 21st century economy. As a whole school we are explicity teaching the language associated with the seven habits within each classroom.  This is embedded within not only our curriculum, but our whole school environment and culture.  You may hear your child come home and use language such as, think win-win, or put first things first.
