Original Grant Overview
Goal
We are inspired teachers who aim to inspire leaders one child at a time. A group of our teachers and administrators are currently doing a book study on "The Leader in Me" by Stephen Covey in order to better understand his research based methods for schools. These resources would help us implement the findings we are sharing.
What will be done with my students
These Leader in Me resources would provide instructional materials to teach all K-5 students about important life skills. These life skills are fostered from Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and are intended to develop students into respectful and responsible citizens who honorably take ownership of their actions. Teachers will have sample habit stories to read aloud to students and further connect and discuss within their classrooms. The stories can be re-read each year to refresh students on the 7 habits. With different teachers each year, the connections and maturity will see our students through many learning years.
Benefits to my students
Our students are brilliant. We owe them them the opportunity to learn about what leadership is really about. Our students and staff will benefit from learning to (1) be proactive, (2) begin with the end in mind, (3) put first things first, (4) think win-win, (5) seek first to understand, then to be understood, (6) synergize, and to (7) sharpen the saw. These skills will transfer into their school and home lives. They will allow our students to develop socially and emotionally to become the best citizens they can be.
