Leader In Me at ACIC
Here at ACIC, we are a proud Leader In Me certified school. We strive to teach every student that they can all be a leader by empowering them to find their strengths and build character traits of a leader. Leader In Me is focused on equipping students with skills needed to thrive in today's ever-changing world. Students receive direct instruction on crucial skills such as responsibility, goal setting, priorities, taking initiative, listening, responding, teamwork, and more. Students are taught these skills through the 7 Habits of Happy Children.
Habit 1: Be Proactive
Taking responsibility for our choices. We are in charge of our attitude and actions.
Habit 2: Begin With the End in Mind
Having a plan. Set goals. How can I help others in the world around me?
Habit 3: Put First Things First
Work first, then play. Set priorities. Be organized. Spend time on the things that are most important.
Habit 4: Think Win-Win
Think of a way everyone can win. I can compromise and be considerate of myself and others.
Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood
Listen BEFORE you speak. Truly listen to others and how they feel before you are thinking of how to respond. Try to understand things from their point of view.
Habit 6: Synergize
Teamwork- together is better! Everyone has strengths I can learn from and value.
Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw
Balance feels best. I can be my best self by taking care of my mind, heart, body, and soul. I can get enough sleep, exercise, eat right, and spend time with friends and family.
