Krueger Primary and Karrer Elementary launched a vision of leadership for our young Bulldogs in 2023, when it officially became a Leader in Me school. Leader in Me is a whole-school transformation model that improves the performance of all school programs. As a Leader in Me school, students, families, and staff learn how to be responsible, show initiative, be creative, set goals and meet them, get along with people of various backgrounds and cultures, resolve conflicts, and solve problems.
Leader in Me
Dr. Covey, the author of the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, defines leadership as “communicating a person’s worth and potential so clearly that they are inspired to see it in themselves.” As a Leader in Me school, everyone learns how to apply the 7 Habits to their personal and academic/professional lives. We apply our leadership skills to academics through goal-setting, data tracking, and student led events. Together, we recognize and celebrate the greatness of each student, and provide opportunities for them to develop into their full potential.
Leadership is not for a few but for everyone! Leadership is not a position. It is action – the actions we take everyday. Let’s be leaders together and inspire change in our communities. Our hope is that each of you will join us on this journey of greatness!
