It is based on principles and practices of personal, interpersonal and organizational effectiveness, and upon the powerful premise that every child possesses unique strengths and has the ability to be a leader. The 7 Habits is a synthesis of universal, timeless principles of personal and interpersonal effectiveness, such as responsibility, vision, integrity, teamwork, collaboration and renewal, which are common to all people and cultures.The Leader in Me is a whole-school transformation model and process developed in partnership with educators that empowers students with the leadership and life skills they need to thrive in the 21st century.

It’s nice to have a common language with her and the school, and it’s wonderful to see such quick progress in personal discipline, independence and responsibility.” “ We’ve noticed that our 12-year-old daughter is now eager to be involved in the family’s decision-making process, helping us to ‘be proactive’ and ‘do first things first’.

Seek first to understand than to be understood is a habit that has even helped us, as adults, in our personal and professional lives.” “ Our 9-year-old is now able to present his point of view while also listening to others’ perspective on the issue. In other words, make a plan and stick with it to get results.” “ Now, if we plan to do something and change things along the way, my 7-year-old son would tell me that we should remember our initial goal because we’re supposed to ‘begin with the end in mind’. From our experience, once this happens, the students are inspired and motivated to learn and to make the right choices for their personal and professional success. Transylvania College’s mission is to help our students find their own voice, to make a difference and to discover their spark. It encourages exploration, critical thinking, project-based learning and experimentation within a safe, secure environment. The leadership culture creates a setting where every student can find his or her spark. All the students become active participants in the development of the school. The students, together with their teachers, set their learning objectives and track their own progress. They learn intuitively, with contagious enthusiasm and their parents are amazed by the impact that the programme has had, in such a short time.Īt Transylvania College, we promote a leadership culture, where students are actively engaged and take ownership of their own learning. It’s been amazing to see how easily have the children have embraced “the 7 Habits.” Being proactive, beginning with the end in mind, putting first things first, thinking win-win, seeking first to understand than to be understood, synergizing, or sharpening the saw all become second nature to our youngest learners, who obviously don’t have the same paradigms as adults. At Transylvania College, the trainer has met with teachers and staff, students and their parents, in order to make sure that the entire community speaks the same language when it comes to “Leader in Me.” And, also, that we all walk the talk. The implementation process involves extensive training sessions with a Franklyn Covey certified trainer. The programme is a paradigm changer and enables students to make better life choices and to be prepared for a job market that is continuously evolving and changing. Seeing that the benefits are easily translated to the field of education, for children of all ages, from kindergarten to teenagers, the programme has been beautifully developed into a process that leads each individual on the path of mastering personal leadership.
The “Leader in Me” process is based on “Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People”, initially created for professionals.
It’s going to be a 3-year process, and we are thrilled to see that the parents, teachers and students already appreciate the benefits of implementing the programme, one year after its launch. Our exciting journey toward becoming the only Leader in Me Lighthouse School in Romania started in September 2015.
