Description
The Leadership program at Root is based on the belief that every child needs to develop leadership skills for success in life. Using the priciples of Stephen Covey and Baldrige criteria, students set personal and academic goals, learn social etiquette and develop communication and presentation skills.
To "prepare all students to lead" the principles of Dr. Stephen R. Covey, internationally renowned consultant and author of the 7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE and FIRST THINGS FIRST, are embedded in the school's culture and guide the student, faculty and staff in building the leadership model. In addition, as part of a collaboration with the PTA, coummunity members and families are given the opportunity through seminars to learn about and apply these principles.
