Leader+in+Me

Here is the spot to contribute ideas on how students can take a larger role in assuming leadership at our school.

Here is a chart from Leader in Me. It seems to me that if people are interested in implementing Habits into our school, that it needs to start with the staff understanding it and making it a part of their lives. I do think that for 2011-2012 we could implement some of the ideas in the left hand column.
