As a school we teach and reinforce Stephen Covey's 7 Habits (plus one). I love these habits and talk about them in class regularly. This contributes to a positive learning environment. I am hoping that the students will also pick up the terminology and apply these principles to their lives.
1- Be Proactive 2- Begin with the end in mind. 3- Put 1st things 1st 4- Think win-win 5- Seek first to understand; then to be understood. 6- Synergize 7- Sharpen the Saw 8- Find your voice
We also teach character development with 2nd Step.
