“Fifth graders are taking ownership of their responsibilities with the implementation of leadership roles in class. Our students use the 7 habits language more often and are able to recognize which habits are a strength for them and which habits they still need to improve in.”
~5th grade
"First graders are owning the language of LIM and using it in conversations with each other. They are finding ways to step up and be leaders in the classroom. Our first graders also point out the 7 Habits in our lessons. Students are recognizing the benefits of synergy during cooperative learning times."
~1st grade
“The Leader in Me has helped our students see that they are all leaders - they are all good at different things. By using the habits they have been able to see they are part of something bigger than themselves and show better teamwork. Using the 7 Habits language they remind one another to "synergize", or ask if that is a "win-win" solution, etc. It has given them tools to be better students and citizens.”
~4th grade
Because my students are using the 7 Habits, they are taking ownership of their learning by setting goals, making plans, cooperating with one another and working hard. Many are finding that they are surpassing their goals. --2nd grade
When I am out, the classroom continues to be student-driven. Students synergize by choosing a lesson to lead instruction and help each other learn instead of the substitute leading instruction. They own the classroom and their learning! --2nd grade, Wyman’s Class
