Spotlight: Main Street Elementary - Troy, Missouri

Main Street Elementary in Troy, Missouri had been working on leadership for four years before they began their Franklin Covey formal training.  I had dinner with principal, Mrs. Kristi Shinn, and she shared the path their school has traveled. She related me that in their first year the staff did a book study of The Leader in Me. In the second year, the teachers taught their students one habit a month. In the third year, the teachers added classroom jobs, binders, and student led conferences. In their fourth year, students did presentations for their peers. Then in the summer after their fourth year, the teachers began formal 7 Habits and Leader in Me training. Each school has its' own path to becoming a Leader in Me School. I worked with Main Street Elementary on their Lighthouse Team Training where they outlined their plans for the 2014-15 school year.  The Lighthouse Team set goals to involve parents and to organize their first Leadership Day.


Each of the habits are displayed in a hallway.

I thought that this bulletin board made by a Second Grade teacher Christy St. Pierre was great.  She designed this circle of control board using hula hoops. She said that her students would fill in activities relevant to them to indicate areas where they have control or no control.

 I was amazed to walk through the Main Street Elementary halls in August and see every bulletin board shout out leadership to the students.
