Leader in Me Implementation Guide

This is our school's third year of being actively involved in the Leader in Me Process.   It has been such an amazing experience, and has enhanced the school culture dramatically.  When we first began, we weren't exactly sure how we wanted to go about the process.  Therefore, we started small and focused on the Wildly Important Goals for our school.  For us, changing the school environment to reflect the Habits, and embedding the language into the curriculum was important. In addition, explicit instruction of the Habits was also necessary.  As you will notice in our plan, I taught the 7 Habits explicitly in all Guidance Classes to all grade levels.  I have various ways that I do this, and will be sharing those with you often.   Here is our implementation plan for Years one and two.  We are well on our way toward becoming a Lighthouse School and can hardly wait!

About Me

My name is Gina Crabtree.  I am the proud wife of Nathan Crabtree and a mom to two daughters, Natalie (20) and Allison (16).  I believe that if you do what you love it's never really work.  Well,  I ❤ My job!  I am a School Counselor at W.R. McNeill Elementary School.  I have had the privilege of working here as the School Counselor for almost 15 years.  When I became a School Counselor, I had NO IDEA where to start.  I felt so alone, until I stumbled across some amazing school counseling blogs. These ladies were so helpful and inspiring, and really help set the pathway for me to become the counselor I am today.  That is why, almost 10 years ago, I started my own blog.   My goal is to be a resource for any counselor struggling to find their voice, advocate for themselves, and develop lessons that are engaging to children. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me for anything you might need to help build your program into all  i...
