In a Leader in Me school, every detail, from wall decorations to classroom activities, echoes the value and potential of both students and staff. By fostering a culture of respect and high trust, we enhance relationships and results for everyone involved—from administrators and staff to students and caregivers.
For many students, attending school can feel psychologically and physically unsafe. They may encounter coercive discipline practices, bullying, and other adverse experiences that make them feel that school is an uncaring place. Research demonstrates that the lack of a sense of safety and belonging at school can have a detrimental impact on student achievement and interfere with students reaching their full potential. In contrast, a positive and supportive learning environment has been shown to boost academic outcomes leading to improved grades, test scores, and student engagement.
Leader in Me’s complete early learning solution pairs research-backed student curriculum with strong professional learning to equip staff with the skills to build leadership competencies in their youngest learners.
Leader in Me is a evidence-based model focused on leadership, culture, and academics that equips students, educators, and families with the leadership and life skills needed to thrive in a dynamic world.
Students and staff work together to develop essential leadership competencies for postsecondary readiness, increase engagement and school belonging, create high-trust school cultures through authentic relationships, and achieve breakthrough results on their important goals.
