Why Leader in Me Works

Why Leader in Me Works

See-Do-Get Cycle

A model that creates new paradigms, effective practices, and real results

Leader in Me is based on a theory of change known as the See-Do-Get Cycle. When you change the way you See things, it influences what you Do and the results you Get.

 

 

If you want small changes, work on your behaviour; if you want quantum-leap changes, work on your paradigms.

-Stephen R. Covey

5 Core Paradigms to SEE Differently

Educators begin to see their role, student potential, and the purpose of school culture in a new way.

The Leader in Me experience begins with a whole new paradigm for education. Educators rediscover their passion through Leader in Me as it redirects their focus back to a deeper understanding of student achievement.

Everyone can be a leader

Not This: Leadership is for the few

Everyone has genius

Not This: A few people are gifted

Change starts with me

Not This: To improve schools, the system needs to change first

Paradigm of Motivation

Not This: Direct and control student learning

Paradigm of Education

Not This: Educators focus solely on academic achievement

A New Way to Define Leadership

Many people equate leadership with a formal position of authority. But we believe anyone can be a leader by intentionally leading one’s own life (leading self) and working well with and encouraging the greatness in others—whether family, friends, neighbours, or colleagues (leading others).

 

What Leader in Me Schools DO

The Framework provides a unique approach to integrating highly effective practices throughout a school’s culture.

Instead of focusing on academic measures alone, Leader in Me embodies a holistic approach to education, redefining how schools measure success. This approach empowers educators with effective practices and tools to:

  • teach LEADERSHIP to every student,
  • create a CULTURE of student empowerment,
  • and align systems to drive results in ACADEMICS.
