Delivery style: Classroom teacher is trained
Leader in Me is delivered through an annual subscription that provides schools with curriculum, tools, professional learning, coaching, and implementation support for a whole‑school leadership model.
Implementation begins with staff learning The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People through live or online workshops, self‑paced modules, or short staff‑meeting sessions. This builds teachers’ personal effectiveness so they can model the shared language, principles, and leadership mindsets taught to students.
The digital, age‑specific curriculum requires little to no teacher preparation:
Early Learning: 5 modules, each taught over 9 weeks (4 × 15‑minute lessons per week)
Primary: 35 year‑level modules (4 × 15‑minute lessons each)
Secondary: 8 modules (16 × 20‑minute lessons each)
All lessons follow an empowered learning approach focused on igniting curiosity, investigation, and connection-making.
Teachers also access on‑demand professional learning, two to three tailored coaching sessions with FranklinCovey consultants, and a resource library to extend learning. Schools may also collaborate with other Leader in Me schools globally.
