[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My principal implemented some of the Leader in Me into our staff meetings and it fell flat. We haven't had the training yet.

My DD's principal sent out a big announce last spring talking about this new MCPS program that would be implemented in the fall - which is kind of laughable because the school never sends out regular announcements. My DD who is in 1st grade came home singing some of the videos/songs she saw (I looked them up and they are hokey but nothing harmful). This was back in Sept and it seemed to last for just a week or two. There was one lesson by the teacher that I liked - things that the kids are able to do "yet". For example, "I can't drive a car.....yet". It doesn't seem like anything else has been done after that including videos. [/quote]

I think implementation and support continue to be a terrible problem with US education.  For instance, as I agree with the PP that the lesson on mindset was/is great for students and something that should be continually reiterated throughout the year for kids in K-5 both to build confidence and a preserve lance mindset.  But that’s not what I see happening.  It just is rolled out at the beginning of the year but not continually reinforced and built upon each year.

For example another PP mentioned study skills, but the first three habits are key to good study skills.
Habit 1 - Be Proactive.
Habit 2 - Begin With the End in Mind.
Habit 3 - Put First Things First.

Habits 4&5 are key to relationships and correcting kids who obviously need help relating to others and reflecting on their own attitudes
Habit 4 - Think Win-Win.
Habit 5 - Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understoond.
