Brad Montague was the last Keynote speaker. He is the creator of “kid president”. Here is the link to all of his resources:

Welcome, educators! Welcome, to any and all people who are fighting for young people. You're our people! So many teachers have shared with us through social media the ways they are incorporating our videos in their classrooms. We love it! As a thank you, we wanted to give you more.

At Crestview, the 2 classrooms I visited had the kids doing Project-based learning...each kid gets a checklist of stuff to get done by a certain date, everything is in Google Classroom, and the kids use the Habits to work through completing Checkpoints and meetings with the teacher.

This included a Science room where they had a “Cell”abration to review for their test. A huge group of students stayed after to create a jeopardy game—questions, answers, and a slide show—“Pin the Organelle on the Cell,” “Write a Letter to a Sick Cell” to tell it how it will get better, and they also created Quizizz and Kahoot for their peers. They—the kids—taught each of the classes about each game and ran the lesson in stations.

I was flabbergasted!  Their stuff was incredible!

I asked a panel of principals: How do you encourage parent involvement in middle school?

Bring the 7 Habits talk into every event we host. ALSO...maybe we can have a Family Education Student Action Team.  Invite parents  to events. Hand out a copy of the book at PTC.

They set a leadership goal to encourage everyone to contribute to the school community by holding a leadership role.

They began with the end in mind by asking what colleges their middle schooler wanted to go to. They also have a board for sharpening the saw homework called “Selfie Sunday”. The kids turn in pics of how themselves sharpening their saw.

This bulletin board showed all of the kids in the various clubs—they’re finding their own voice.

Here wall art about Sharpening their Saw by reading. This was so cool!

This was my favorite break-out session. It had everything we need to empower our staff, students, and parents. Here is a link to the entire presentation.

This link will take you to a folder of everything you need for leadership notebooks. It is all in Google Drive and can be easily added to your personal Google Drive and organized or placed where you want it.

Session 2: Implementation at the Secondary Level

East Rochester HS in NY sets apart "family time" (like our TC time) where every adult in the building is a part of a family--teachers, principals, custodians, lunch ladies, etc. Instead of being call "Teachers," they're called "Carents" because, in this particular community, most of the students come from broken home without caring adults in their lives. I love that every adult, just like every student, has something to offer kids--every person is valued and contributing to the community.

When listening to this presentation, it made me realize how lucky we are at HMS to have such a wide array of leaders. At St. Clair, they have 25 on their SLT and it acts as an elective class. The kids plan an array of activities, but there didn't seem to be a lot of room for other groups to do this. I did like that they have the students teach LEAD lessons at the elementary school and at their school. I also liked that the kids organized and ran Awards' Night.

I liked a lot of ideas that came from this session.
1. Pick Your Passion Time-very similar to our action teams, but they stress that each group is working towards service learning in some way related to their passion.
2. They have greeters greet kids/staff who enter the building every day.
3. To help parents understand the habits, they offered a book study to them and supplied the books.
4. Team mission statements that the kids created and they live by.

# data[].attributes.body
Three things they did that I liked:
1. On Leadership Applications they included a spot for parents to sign it, so that students would talk to them about how they are leading at school.
2. They tracked attendance and tardies in their notebooks and reflected on it regularly. I thought this would be good for HMS with our attendance % not being the greatest right now.
3. We could change Refocus sheets to reflection sheets based on the 7 Habits.

The presenters shared a link to all of the forms they created.  There are some great ideas!

Best take away from LaSalle was their iHabits time that included Pick Your Passion. These teams allowed the students to lead in areas they are passionate about and they had it as part of their awesome schedule!

# data[].attributes.body
Every team and class had a posted mission statement. (LaSalle)

# data[].attributes.body
LaSalle- this looked super cool on the stairs and it doesn't look too hard!

At LaSalle I saw these in hallways and in some classrooms.

# data[].attributes.body
There were quotes on the wall EVERYWHERE at LaSalle... all very inspirational and happy making. These were organized and applied by the pto and parents (for the most part)

# data[].attributes.body
LaSalle: the students organize challenges (in this case acts of kindness) and tracked them on a wall in the cafeteria. Our guide was very sad the 8th graders had not come through... c
.

Outside each class at LaSalle Springs the they had organized a rotating message on a whiteboard emphasizing something inspirational.

# data[].attributes.body
Students were asked to take a selfie with something that they enjoy (sports, pets, video games, etc) This was called "Selfie-Sunday"

# data[].attributes.body
On the 2nd day of school, students do this activity where they write their mission statement. These posters are laminated and they hang in the hallways (some kids have them in their lockers)

# data[].attributes.body
One team at Crestview Middle School chose 6 students each month to spotlight how they were leading. At the end of the year, any student that was chosen gets to be celebrated with a pizza party.

Teacher Profiles and Mission Statements: Outside each teacher's classroom, there was a bio that included their mission statement. Awesome leadership modeling.
