Leadership Binders

We are in our first year as a Leader in Me school and it has been a great learning experience!!  I have created a Leadership Binder (Data Notebook) set of printables for my own students and I figured I would love to share them with you if you were interested.  Data tracking can be overwhelming and time consuming.  Believe me I have thought about dropping it a few times but I come back to it because the research stands behind it clear and strong.

I just keep thinking that I will adapt and adapt until I get it perfect for my students and for me.  After thinking about this I wanted to make sure that my documents that I offered to you were also  customizable to you and your students.  Due to this I went back and made sure that my TPT Data Notebook files were editable for you to personalize.

I would love to know how you are using these in your classroom and how data tracking is going for you!

For the love of teaching...have a great night

In honor of Leader in Me

It is finally ready....wait for it....wait for it...Leader in Me meets the Clip Chart!!  If your school is anything like mine the behavior management Clip Chart is in full swing.  It beat out the sticks, cards, conduct punches, etc because lets face it kids seem to respond more and you get better results.  Well because of our school becoming a Leader in Me school I needed my Clip Chart to become one with LIM!!  Sooooooo here it is....

The lEADER iN mE bEHAVIOR cLIP cHART pACK

Leader in Me meets the Clip Chart!! I have put these two wonderful classroom management ideas together to create a Leader in Me Clip Chart. It can be utilized the same way, but it goes along with the Leader in Me theme. Each Leader in Me Clip Chart Poster is all decked out with different colored polka dots (way cute)!! This pack also includes a Clip Chart graph for students to color in their progress on the chart, Clip Chart posters, Leader in Me Behavior Think Sheet, and an activity to begin the year with called "Recipe for a Good Leader". This pack will help you and your students get ready for student led conferences and overall better school and classroom leaders. **If you like the polka dots, but need a specific color scheme let me know and I will see if I can accommodate your needs for just $2.00 more. Enjoy!!

Please check it out and let me know what you think!

Thanks!

We are a Leader in me school

I'm so excited to say that my school will be a leader in me school!!!  The super cool thing is they come in and basically revamp everything.  I'm super stoked!  I will keep you updated on the process!

It all began honestly ...you see I shared the leader in me things I had found on pinterest with my team and they so graciously didn't think I was too crazy and decided they would try it too!  So we embarked on the journey that led us here!  We got to go to a symposium (we saw Ron Clark speak!!!) We spoke of the symposium so enthusiastically that we told the rest of our co workers that we drank the koolaid and were ready to dive in head first!  Fortunately we got an amazing response from our school and administration and off we went! 

Do you have any leader in me experience?  How's it going...what is your favorite thing that your school does?  I would love to hear from you!!
