Teachers and Coordinators,

Date: May 11, 2009
Time: 11:00-12:00 PM Central
Location: ESC12 in Waco

Title: The Leader in Me, Inspiring Greatness in Schools interactive session with Stephen Covey
Description: Join educators from around the country to discuss “The Leader in Me” with award-winning author Stephen Covey.

This book focuses on “the best way to prepare the next generation for the future is to emphasize the value of communication, cooperation, initiative, and unique, individual talent — for nothing undermines confidence more than comparison. Whether in the classroom or at home, it is never too early to start applying leadership skills to everyday life. Drawing on the many techniques and examples that have already seen incredible success around the world, The Leader in Me shows how easy it is to incorporate these skills into daily life. It is a timely answer to many of the challenges facing today’s young people, businesses, parents, and educators — one that is perfectly matched to the global demands of the twenty-first century.”

You will need to have read the book, The Leader in Me, before coming on that Monday.

It is available online: The Leader in Me or in bookstores.
