The Fort Dodge Community Schools Foundation is doing what it can to invest in the leaders of tomorrow through fundraising efforts to support the Leader in Me initiative in the schools.
Leader in Me is a K-12 curriculum that aims to empower students with the leadership and life skills they need to thrive in the 21st century. The model provides a character-building framework based on Franklin Covey’s “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.”
School staff will reflect on how they use the seven habits and then model them for students by integrating the social-emotional learning around them into other lessons. Leader in Me aligns to the Iowa Department of Education’s social-emotional learning competencies released in December 2019.
