“I support anything that encourages and teaches kids to take personal responsibility, as well as how to effectively communicate and work with others. “Overall, I love the concept of this program,” wrote forum commenter 2Sprouts. In Leader in Me schools, students are often the ones who run the assemblies and programs, give guided tours around the building, and generally take on many of the responsibilities that were once the exclusive domain of teachers and administrators. The program also encourages students to set and track personal goals and to take leadership roles whenever possible. It’s not a curriculum or an instructional method, but rather a school culture model in which students learn Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits of Happy Kids, a spin-off from his original book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. The Leader in Me is basically a philosophy that schools are taught to weave into every aspect of the school day.

As a parent whose kids go to a Leader in Me school, I was initially impressed by the program, but then started to have some doubts.

I had a forum on this site for almost a year and a half, but in all that time, only one topic has ever gotten any traction: the one titled “Is the Leader in Me All It’s Cracked Up to Be?” I originally posted the question to see what teachers and parents were experiencing in schools that had adopted the Leader in Me program.
