About The Leader in Me Program

The Leader in Me program in Tawhiid Islamic School is a whole-school transformation process that develops a culture of personal leadership that results in emotional well being of staff and pupils.

At Tawhiid Islamic Nursery and Primary School, we have experienced a big shift towards the fact that our school does not merely focus on improving test scores, but providing opportunities for pupils to develop to their full potential. By this we mean that we consider a child’s mental health and emotional well being as coming to the forefront of education; and are of equal, if not greater importance than academic success.

The Leader in Me program provides our school with a proven process to implement a personal leadership culture that is built on the foundation of Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits character skills. It provides us with a clear system for teaching life skills to pupils that creates a culture of pupil empowerment based on the principle that every child can be a leader. The process enables greatness in our children, teachers and school.

Leader In Me Outcomes

Self-Confidence

Our pupils gain a mind-set and skill set that they can apply in any situation.

Responsibility

We take ownership and responsibility for the learning which leads to increased life aspirations for all.

Teamwork

We create a highly collaborative culture whereby everyone is rowing the boat in the same direction.

Initiative

We practice personal leadership that results in a proactive approach in self, class and school improvement.

Creativity

We see more possibilities and explore alternatives to improve the teaching, learning, results and the culture of the school.

Leadership

We embrace a culture of distributed leadership that leads to every single person leading themselves.

Community

Our pupils teach their parents the 7 Habits; and parents are given the opportunity to attend the course which results in a more supporting home environment.

Why it works here at Tawhiid

Through the The Leader in Me program all staff see every child as capable and as a leader. This paradigm changes the way the we look at an individual pupil, the way we instruct a child and the behaviour that an individual child exhibits.
It is an inside out approach: our teachers have learnt to apply the habits personally and professionally, then become models of these habits and teach them to the pupils effectively.
This program has provided a common language for teachers, pupils and parents that results in a compound interest effect.
It gives abundance: instead of teaching leadership once a week during Social Studies, or Islamic Religious Education or English subjects, teachers use an integrated approach involving leadership training in everything they do throughout the curriculum.
