I am not nearly as comprehensive as Kelly on "transformative learning", but I have seen the Leader in Me Program work first hand with my own children and think it would be a great place to start with some of our elementary schools. Colonial Elementary is doing this in Botetourt County and wow has there been a difference, if nothing else, than in the way children are talking the talk and walking the walk. Here's a link if you are interested!

Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving and restful break!!
I will check it out! Thanks again for your meaningful engagement! Gobble, gobble ;0
ReplyDeleteBeverly & Kelly,
ReplyDeleteIs this something that either of you are trying to implement in your schools? I'd love to see it in action to see how the program balances with instruction and fits into the school day and culture.
