    Setting Sail

    with the
    Seven
    Habits
    Pickett’s Mill Elementary
    Lunch and Learn
    March 10, 2009
    What Are the 7 Habits?
    Based on the work of Stephen and Sean
    Covey

    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
    Why a Leadership Focus?
    Finding the Treasure
    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.
    The Habits:
    Habit 1: Be Proactive

    I have a
    “Can Do” attitude.
    I choose my actions, Display
    attitudes and moods. from
    I don’t blame others. Ms.
    Owshanik’s
    I do the right thing 1st grade
    without being asked, class.
    even if nobody is
    looking.
    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.
    Habit 3: Put First Things First

    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 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!
    Habit 5: Seek First to Understand,
    Then to be Understood

    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 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.
