Getting Ready to Roll!

Next week, our staff will receive the initial training on The Leader in Me!  We are so excited to officially begin this journey. Up until now, we have been researching our trip, buying our "tickets", packing our suitcase, and gassing up the car.  However, we haven't actually started the journey.  I liken it to the night before the first trip to Disney when you are a kid.  We are excited to have a memorable trip that influence us all for the rest of our lives, but we really don't know what we are about to get into.  I have been on the phone all week with the leaders from Franklin Covey, including Connelly Skeen (our Leader in Me Coach) and Jane Knight (our Leader in Me trainer).  Both of themhave me so excited.   They have explained to me that the initial training really allows the adults to analyze themselves and how they can use the 7 Habits to be better people, leaders, and teachers.  How exciting is this - how often do adults get the opportunity to reflect and receive training on how to look within to be better people and teachers.  I have heard it is transforming for everyone involved - and I can't wait!  As a firm believer in jim Collin's thought of "Going from Good tto Great", I truly believe that this journey will allow our entire staff and school community to continue improving and continue to help our students prepare for their future! 

Stay tuned - i will blog a breif snippet from each of the days of training!  Also, make sure you are following us on Twitter!
