There is a Leader in Me!
If your family is new to Compass Elementary, you may be hearing about The 8 Habits of Leadership or the phrase, "Leader in Me" from your student(s). What is it? Why are we invested? "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."
In future newsletters, we will be highlighting more information about Leader in Me and how you can support your kiddo(s) at home with the 8 Habits of Leadership. Check out our 8 Habits and CLICK HERE for a video highlighting "Why Leader in Me?
