The Leader in Me

This summer I was able to attend a workshop over the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. I wasn't sure what to expect but by the end of the 3 days I knew I had come across something amazing-- something that will not only help me become a better teacher but something I could use to help my students become LEADERS.  I had some knowledge of the 7 Habits from being a Student Council leader; this past year we read from The 7 Habits of Happy Kids.  The habits for kids and adults are the same: 


1. Be Proactive 
2. Begin with the End in Mind
3. Put First Things First
4. Think Win- Win 
5. Seek 1st to Understand, then to be Understood
6. Synergize
7.. Sharpen the Saw


I know it's hard to imagine students not only understanding but using these habits. Honestly, I didn't know what half of them meant before my training. But the more I read and research, the more I believe it is possible.  So WE are going to try it. This year myself and my students will be learning and putting the 7 Habits to work in our lives, together. I don't know exactly what this will look except the first 8 weeks we will take time introducing what a HABIT is and then learning and understanding what each habit MEANS.  


I encourage you to watch this short video clip about the 7 Habits. It's informative...and funny :) 
If you are looking for more information please feel free to ask me! I am excited to see where this journey takes us!
