"leader in me" controversy

We are expected to make LIM our main focus and the work load just keeps increasing each year. We are currently looking for something to implement at our school to build leaders and change our school environment. Anonymity makes this a better forum. It is up to each school to come up with “leadership roles” that fit their school. Try “reinforcement” “antecedent” and “skillbuilding”.We are a Lighthouse School and I quite frankly LOVE The Leader in Me programming.

Compromise means you have to take away or lose out; therefore according to their teachings, only win-win is a solution. I believe, the teaching profession in society can be elevated to new heights if we can empower teachers with the skills to change children lives for the better opposed to mostly feeding children with information to pass tests.Very well said Clinton. Building 21st century learners is more than academics – it is deeper thinking, problem solving, working with others, confidence, and having a voice. It’s good to know that my own doubts and questions are not completely off the mark. While I like the ends that the program pursues, I have some concerns about the means it achieves them and the costs of the program. Please any info of teachers or parents removing it from their school would be greatly appreciated.LIM has been in my school for about 6 years and it’s so sad what a waste of money it is. I want, more than anything else, to be a good example for them, to help them to be ready for the next grade, and to give them an awesome school year. We have just now, in November, gotten the curriculum we need to actually teach. Is this something our school added, or is this part of the program?I wish there were a way out, but I believe we are past the point of choosing another school for next year.Can someone please enlighten me as to what the heck is going on?I suggest sending the religious indoctrination pages to the ACLU local in your state.

CPS is facing a fiscal crisis – this is one expense our district doesn’t need. I challenge you to speak with one of any of the hundreds of students, parents or co-workers I’ve been fortunate enough to have in my life and you will be hard pressed to find one who would characterize me as one who would refer to someone as a “loser” as your impression of me seems to intimate. In fact they can almost carry on a debate about which one is better.

Non-profits pay the high ups big salaries; people do all the work and funnel up money to the top. Before you know iit we are looking for “lighthouse status” using a grant from undisclosed sources! This year we moved up to something they call Core Academics, with the committee, the notebooks, the leader period every two weeks, and…no measurable improvement in our students’ behavior and continued decline in their academic skills and work ethic. I believe they should be taught personal responsibility. Thanks for your thoughtful reply. Absolutely no notification of these proceedings were sent home to parents of children they identified as poor leaders, only a calendar saying there would be a fun Friday movie and kids could wear pjs to school. Those kids are natural leaders and would have stepped up anyways. My thoughts are that the current administration, does not have respect for the profession, and that is something I do not agree with or appreciate.It is an expensive program It is also funded in many different ways, some public, some private.I am pretty sure it is a non-profit corporation is it not? The proponents of TLIM are quick to point out the overwhelmingly positive support found for this program on the web. I teach values in my class to help create a safe place for all students so they can then be educated . I can feel the eye rolls and hear the sarcasm already! . We receive emails from teachers using normal words, not catch phrases. I have taken a 2 day course and have the manual.However you are imposing religious beliefs when you are following this program if you did your research you would know its tied to Stephen Covey and he is Mormon -check out his book the Divine Center and the & habits of highly effective people -you may find it insulting bc he says people are basically easy to manipulate by changing words to follow our beliefs-check it outJust because Covey is Mormon doesn’t mean that these principles have anything to do with his religious beliefs. I hated it at first.

If you believe that there is any place for cult-like programs in our schools, then I suggest you re-read these comments and perhaps you will see that the “negativity” is really warning people to smarten up and realize how dangerous the Leader in Me program is.Businesses and stakeholders in our community are fully funding the Leader in Me. I have to agree with Donnie about the Pyramid stuff; Its not always what is presented, what is bad, it is the more classes, the pressure put on the ones selling it, and the teachers, staff, and kids to do more, in this case for light house status..it cost the school more in the long run right?

I must say this is why I stay in this District because I cannot survive much longer financially without the pay so I don’t know what everybody is talking about having to pay for this. I don’t know anyone that has used this before.Can you please send me the information you have. Yet, as a teacher I still feel my primary job is academic instruction. !I am curious to hear more from your perspective and about special needs student’s involvement/exclusion!! probably takes a lot of training $$.
