Are you looking for a class that can help your middle schooler understand the value of hard work, how to set and achieve goals, and how to take responsibility/initiative? In this 5 day course, students will learn about 2 habits each day from the national bestselling book "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens" by Sean Covey. This book is not required for this class, but I highly encourage you to check it out because it compliments this class so perfectly. 

I have been teaching leadership classes for over 6 years and I really have a passion for teaching others how to turn discipline into success. I enjoy it so much that I became certified as a Franklin Covey Facilitator and was inspired to create this class after reading the book “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens”. As a mom of a teen myself, this book impacted my life and my family’s life in such a positive way and now I want to share that same impact with your family. If you have a teen or a pre-teen, now is the perfect time to introduce effective habits that will benefit them as they navigate young adulthood. 

These short one-hour classes will help students to both discover the 7 Habits, and understand the key concepts within them. The more students are engaged in the learning process, the more they internalize the leadership content and apply it in their own world. This internalization enables students to think critically and allows them to apply these habits in day-to-day situations.
