The Leader in Me
*
The Leader in Me is Franklin Covey’s whole school transformation process. It teaches 21st century leadership and life skills to students and creates a culture of student empowerment based on the idea that every child can be a leader.
The goal of a Leader in Me school is to establish a school-wide system that focuses on three key principles.
Key Principles:
- Teach and Model Leadership Skills
- Create a Culture of Student Empowerment
- Align Behavior and Actions for Academic Success
The Leader in Me curriculum is centered around the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Our school has embedded the 7 Habits into our daily routines, instructional practices, and our school culture. We are committed to helping students understand that change begins with them and they have the power to succeed beyond measure.
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People are:
- Habit 1: Be Proactive(You’re in Charge)
- Habit 2: Begin With the End in Mind(Have a Plan)
- Habit 3: Put First Things First(Work First, Then Play)
- Habit 4: Think Win-Win(Everyone Can Win)
- Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood (Listen Before You Speak)
- Habit 6: Synergize(Together Is Better)
- Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw(Balance Feels Best)
Niagara Charter School is proud to be one of over 2,000 public, private, charter and magnet schools across 35 countries to have adopted The Leader in Me process.
