I am a third grade teacher in a rather impoverished and low income school community. 95% of my students are on the reduced or free lunch program. Even though most do not have much, they are always excited to come to school and learn and experience new things. I always tell them that it does not matter where they are coming from, but it is important to know where they are going. "The Leader in Me" is a part a leadership program by Steven Covey. We are going into our fourth year of implementing The Leader In Me to our school. It is amazing to see how involved and supportive the teachers as well as parents have been with this program. It empowers students to take ownership of their learning as well as themselves. Students are learning ways to become leaders of tomorrow and it is exciting to be able to be a part of their journey.
