Preparing all students for a future beyond the classroom.

Leadership is more than a position or title. When we believe that everyone possesses unique strengths and has the ability to be a leader, we can help students develop mindsets, behaviours, and skills to succeed both in school and beyond.

​

Why is leadership foundational?

Employers report that essential skills such as self-awareness, self-management, and responsible decision-making are foundational skills. They also report these skills are often the most difficult to find in potential job candidates.

The support you need to prepare lifelong leaders.

When schools nurture student leadership competencies that improve personal and interpersonal effectiveness, students are empowered to lead others and themselves to become the next generation of change makers and problem solvers.

Build a culture where students and staff thrive.

In a Leader in Me school, every detail echoes the value and potential of both students and staff. By fostering a culture of respect and high trust, we enhance relationships and results for everyone involved—from administrators and staff to students and caregivers.

Cultivating the culture of your school matters.

For many students, attending school can feel psychologically and physically unsafe. They may encounter coercive discipline practices, bullying, and other adverse experiences that make them feel that school is an uncaring place. Research demonstrates that the lack of a sense of safety and belonging at school can have a detrimental impact on student achievement and interfere with students reaching their full potential. In contrast, a positive and supportive learning environment has been shown to boost academic outcomes leading to improved grades, test scores, and student engagement.

Accelerate Academic Achievement

Using a unified approach to goal-setting can transform students’ trajectories, taking them from falling short of academic standards to meeting or even surpassing their academic aspirations.

A Leadership Program to Improve Academic Outcomes

Academic achievement is one of the most prominent factors used to determine a school’s success. When student achievement data scores indicate a downward trend in student reading and math or that students are not reaching other learning benchmarks, panic sets in throughout the school community. In response, schools often double down on instructional improvement efforts. However, research has shown that there are other—equally important—factors such as executive function, physical safety, and self-awareness that work in tandem to impact student achievement. Prioritizing these other factors can lead to increased learning engagement, improved levels of resilience; and most importantly, better academic outcomes.
