TRANSCRIPT
“It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” -Charles Darwin (1809-1882) English Naturalist
“Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future. -John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President
All meaningful and lasting change starts first in your imagination and then works its way out. Imagination is more important than knowledge. -Albert Einstein (1879-1955) German-Swiss-U.S. scientist.

Leadership Academy
Beginning The
Seven Habits
Cerritos, A Leadership Academy
Based on the work of Stephen and Sean Covey
What Are the 7 Habits?
We only get one chance to prepare our students for a future that none of us can possibly predict.
What are we going to do with that one chance?
~Stephen Covey
Are used all year long
Help students monitor their own progress
Part of the leadership model
Used in “Student Led Conferences” in the spring
Data Passports
We believe that every child possesses leadership skills.
We believe that every child will serve as a leader in some way, either in their careers or with family and friends.
We believe that character education is essential.
We believe that students must be taught how to collaborate with others.
We believe that leadership training will have a positive impact on student achievement.
Why a Leadership Focus?
I have a “Can Do” attitude.
I choose my actions, attitudes and moods. I don’t blame others. I do the right thing
without being asked, even if nobody is
looking.
The Habits: Habit 1: Be Proactive
Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind
I plan ahead and set goals. I do things that have meaning and make
a difference. I am an important part of my classroom.
I look for ways to be a good citizen.
I spend my time on things that are most important.
This means I say no to things I should not do. I set priorities,
make a schedule, and follow my
plan. I am organized.
Habit 3: Put First Things First
Habit 4: Think Win-Win
I want everyone to be a success.
I don’t have to put others down to get
what I want. It makes me happy to see other people happy. I like to
do nice things for others. When a
conflict arrives, I help brainstorm a solution.
We all can win!
I listen to other people’s ideas and feelings. I try to see things from their viewpoints.
I listen to others without interrupting. I am confident in voicing my ideas.
Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood
Habit 6: Synergize
I value other people’s strengths and learn from them. I get along well with others, even people
who are different from me. I work well in groups. I seek out other people’s ideas to solve
problems. I know that “two heads are better than one”. I am a better person when I let other
people into my life and work.
Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw
I take care of my body by eating right,
exercising, and getting sleep.
I spend time with family and friends.
I learn in lots of ways and lots of
places.
Read & discuss The 7 Habits for Happy Kids
Use the language. i.e. “How could you be proactive in this situation?”
Consider which habit your child is strong in. Which are weaknesses? Discuss & set goals.
Talk about your strengths and weaknesses. Verbalize when a habit is used.
Make a family mission statement. (Begin with the end in mind.)
Model. i.e. Write out agendas and to-do lists. (Put first things first.)
