Leadership is communicating people’s worth and potential so clearly that they are inspired to see it in themselves.”

What is The Leader in Me?

​

Beechwood  Elementary School  has embraced and implemented The Leader in Me approach in developing a culture of leadership  based on The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People® by Stephen Covey.  We are working very hard to intergrate The Leader in Me and the 7 Habits.

Founded on internationally recognized and universal principles, The Leader in Me model emphasizes skills parents, teachers, and business leaders want and students need to be successful in an ever-changing society – skills of accountability, adaptability, initiative, self-direction, responsibility, problem solving, communication and teamwork – and they are taught and developed in our students.

Developing a culture of leadership in our schools is about inspiring children to be leaders of their own lives; it helps them identify their own unique talents and abilities and encourages them to make a positive difference in the world.

The Leader in Me is not a program or a curriculum.  It is an integrated approach to leadership development that will help our school  fulfill its mission and vision to prepare each of our students for success  throughout their time in school and  throughout their career.
