Life-transforming leadership programme for schools
Live Life Education has partnered with FranklinCovey Education as the latter’s international partner in India to offer the ‘Leader in Me’ (LiM) programme — an evidence-based, comprehensive school improvement model developed in partnership with educators — that empower students with the leadership and life skills they need to thrive in the 21st century.
Inspired by the principles of Dr. Stephen R. Covey’s bestselling book 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, the LiM model creates new paradigms, effective practices, and real results 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.
Instead of focusing on academic measures alone, LiM 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.
Student Development
Students find their voice in the classroom and through leadership roles by learning and applying life-ready leadership skills.
Children at Leader in Me Schools thrive in a nurturing environment when they feel safe, confident, and supported by teachers and other staff members. By recognising each child as a leader with unique talents, all aspects of their education begin to flourish. This socio-emotional learning process equips students with essential 21-century skills to build meaningful relationships and take ownership of their education.
Staff Development
Administrators and staff participate in training workshops for personal improvement and professional learning opportunities.
Teachers can often lose sight of why they became an educator when working diligently to meet district, state and federal standards of academic performance. Leader in Me helps educators to rediscover their true passion for teaching by encouraging focus on holistic education. Leader in Me reminds educators of their purpose and direction as they reconnect with their vocation.
Family Development
Training workshops and other resources are also available to help parents or guardians develop life-ready leadership skills at home.
During the formative years of childhood development, parents are eager to discover ways to prepare their children for obstacles ahead. Leader in Me offers families a powerful framework that aligns to the same principles being taught at school. And it’s not just helping kids finish their homework — families collaborate with their local Leader in Me school to encourage their child to cultivate leadership skills, like motivation, self-directed learning, self-confidence, and working well with others.
Transform School Culture
Leader in Me is a framework that helps schools achieve results by influencing behaviors and paradigms.
Leader in Me serves as the foundational operating system that integrates seamlessly into each school’s unique priorities, initiatives, and culture. When implemented with excellence, Leader in Me redefines what it means to be a high performing school in the 21st century.
It provides schools with a model and process that address common challenges that are unique to students in their formative years. Parents, educators, and school administrators are concerned with their child’s physical, mental, social, and economic well-being, all of which are factors that can contribute to or hinder academic success.
Children at Leader in Me Schools across the globe thrive in a nurturing environment where they feel safe, confident, and supported by teachers and other staff members. By recognising each child as a leader with talents to share, all aspects of education begin to flourish. This socio-emotional learning process equips students with essential 21-century skills to build meaningful relationships and take ownership of their education.
