Posted Feb 15, 2022 4:38 PM

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The USD 308 Board of Education heard updates on the progress of Leader in Me programming during their Monday meeting.

Leader in Me is designed for K-12 students and fits in with the district’s two primary focuses for the Kansas Education Systems Accreditation, which are rigor and relevance. The curriculum was created by the same organization that developed 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. The program is based on the See-Do-Get Cycle. When a person changes the way things are seen, it influences what the individual does and the results the person gets.

During Monday’s meeting, Krystal Young, Director of Special Programs and Redesign, presented progress on the Leader in Me programming. During the discussion Monday, Young presented the plan going forward for schools, and answered questions from board members on how individual schools will be utilizing the program in the coming years.

Because Monday’s meeting fell on Valentine’s Day, the members of the BOE were surprised with hand-made cards from students at Graber Elementary School.
