7 Habits of Highly Effective People
Habit of the Month: BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND 
 
iLEAD Schools embrace the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, from the best-selling book by Dr. Stephen R. Covey. The habits are simple and based upon principles that stand the test of time.  

Habit 2 is Begin with the End in Mind. Embracing this habit means that, instead of living by default, we live by design with a clear definition of our desired results. How do we wish to be remembered? What will be our legacy? 

 

Beginning with the end in mind requires a mind-set that envisions the outcome before any actions. It creates a criteria for determining what is important in our lives and what wastes our precious time. Internalizing Habit 2 means that we have to make a plan and remember that "things that matter most should never be at the mercy of things that matter least" (Johann Goethe).

 

Dr. Covey suggests envisioning and creating a personal mission statement. This serves to clarify what is important to you. It provides focus and helps you design your own life instead of having your life defined for you. 

 

In the classroom, we simplify this by telling our learners that, for the important things we do, we have to make a plan. The plans are usually simple and always developmentally appropriate. Older learners may create multiple steps in order to achieve a goal, whereas young learners might have a short list of actions that will culminate in a class or individual project. iLEAD learners have Individualized Learning Plans (ILPs) that change as goals are met and progress is achieved.

iLEAD Sparkles

GoSchoolers Rock the Revolution
On November 20, eighteen GoSchoolers took the stage for an iLEAD Birdcage Theatre production, "The American Revolution." Directed by 9th grade intern and GoSchooler Miss Angelica Hall, the musical production was heralded by friends and family as a huge success. The show was filled with important historical facts, joyful singing and dancing, and confidence-building acting.

As one parent put it, "I was amazed at my son's awesome performance. He did not have any previous experience in theatre, yet he performed with confidence."

Didn't get a chance to attend? Don't worry. This is only the beginning of iLEAD Birdcage Theatre!

6th and 7th Graders Explore Genetics 

The 6th and 7th grades have been learning about themselves, their families, and their pasts in their latest project. In social studies they are researching and interviewing their families to make family trees. In science and math they are studying a genetic trait found in their families and learning how it was passed to them and the probability of what traits their ancestors carried.

 

This past week they also had their first dance! It was a great success, and all who came to our winter wonderland had fun.
