1. Empowering Students … Developing Leaders One Child at a Time!

2. Objectives Discover a new paradigm of leadership.
Learn how we are using The Leader In Me process to transform our school to a leadership model that enables greatness.

3. The Leader In Me an Inside Out Model PARENTS STUDENTS STAFF
Another key reason for the success of The Leader in Me is that it involves all the key stakeholders—staff, students, and parents. The leadership theme and clear mission to develop students as leaders is a rallying point for all. And the way they are involved follows an inside-out process of change. Most people believe that to improve the school, you need to focus on the students. The Leader in Me says that we should first focus on changing ourselves—the staff—before we bring it to the students, and then bring it to the parents. Again and again, schools come to us and say “you won’t believe what this has done for the staff!” In order to ask our students to be leaders, the staff and teachers have to be leaders first and model the leadership principles.
