We talk about what leaders would say, how they would act in all areas of the school and the importance of always doing the right thing, even if you think no one is watching or listening. We have a ton of fun in kindergarten, it’s not the grade I ever saw myself teaching, but now I can hardly imagine myself anywhere else. It’s a fine line to dance on, I tend to stay back away from any potential over-sharing.īut I know some of my readers are teachers and I wanted to share some of the fun 7 Habits and Leader In Me related things we’ve been doing, and a few other things that aren’t related but are worth sharing. Therefore, classroom related news doesn’t typically make it to the blog. I always try to approach what I share with the mindset of a mother, if I wouldn’t want it shared about my child, I won’t share it about yours. I have 20 students who have their own story to tell, I don’t believe it’s my place to share their stories (as funny as they may be). I don’t talk about my classroom or school much on the blog. If it’s done just right, the students will gain something they can carry with them throughout life, they will become great leaders. I wasn’t familiar with Stephen Covey or the program, I certainly wasn’t aware of what each habit meant or how it would even be used in the classroom, After completing the book study and several training sessions I found something I would grow to love, The Leader in Me. More than just a set of rules on a classroom wall, the 7 Habits goes beyond character education or classroom-specific rules. Last year, when I went back to teaching, I stepped into a classroom with this big tree on the wall and 7 Habits displayed on the tree. I take time to find meaningful ways to help others, in order to strengthen my soul.When I was in school, there was a set of class rules written on a big piece of paper, it hung on the wall for everyone to see: Keep your hands to yourself, raise your hand to be recognized, respect the property of others, use inside voices when speaking. Some version of these rules followed me throughout my years in school. I spend time with family and friends, in order to strengthen my heart.
I learn in lots of ways and in lots of places, not just at school, in order to sharpen my mind. Sharpen the Saw: I eat right, exercise, and get enough sleep in order to strengthen my body. I seek out other ideas because I know that by teaming with others, we can create better solutions than what any one of us could do alone.ħ. Synergize: I value other people's strengths and learn from them. I try to see things from their viewpoint. Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood: I listen to other people's ideas and feelings. When conflicts arise, I looke for a win-win solution.ĥ. Think Win-Win: I balance courage for getting what I want with consideration for what others want. I set priorities, make a schedule, and follow my plan. Put First Things First: I spend my time on things that are most important. I am an important part of my classroom and I look for ways to be a good citizen.ģ. Begin With the End in Mind: I plan ahead and set goals. I do the right thing without being asked.Ģ. I choose my actions, attitudes, and my moods. Here are the 7 habits that we are working to instill in our Blue Jay students:ġ.
