  • Tampa Heights Elementary Magnet was selected to become a Leader In Me school beginning in the 2023-2024 school year. "Leader in Me (LIM) is an evidence-based, comprehensive-school model that empowers students with the leadership and life skills they need to thrive in the 21st century." All students K-Fifth grade learn about Stephen Covery's 7 Habits. 

  • Habit 1- BE PROACTIVE (I AM IN CHARGE OF ME)

    You're in Charge

    I am a responsible person. I take initiative. I choose my actions, attitudes, and moods. I do not blame others for my wrong actions. I do the right thing without being asked, even when no one is looking.

     

  • HABIT 2- BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND (HAVE A PLAN)

    Have a Plan

    I plan ahead and set goals. I do things that have meaning and make a difference. I am an important part of my classroom and contribute to my school's mission and vision. I look for ways to be a good citizen. 

  • HABIT 3 -PUT FIRST THINGS FIRST (WORK FIRST, THEN PLAY)

    Work First, Then Play

    I spend my time on things that are most important. This means I say no to things I know I should not do. I set priorities, make a schedule, and follow my plan. I am disciplined and organized. 

  • HABIT 4 -THINK WIN-WIN (EVERYONE CAN WIN)

    Everyone Can Win

    I balance courage for getting what I want with consideration for what others want. I make deposits in others' emotional bank accounts. When conflicts arise, I look for the third alternatives.

    • Balance courage and consideration
    • Consider other people's wins as well as your own
    • Create Win-Win agreements

  • HABIT 5- SEEK FIRST TO UNDERSTAND, THEN BE UNDERSTOOD

    (LISTEN)

    Listen

    I listen to other people's ideas and feelings. I try to see things from their viewpoint. I listen to others without interrupting. I am confident in voicing my ideas. I look people in the eyes when talking. 

  • HABIT 6-SYNERGIZE (TOGETHER IS BETTER)

    Together is Better

    I value other people's strengths and learn from them. I get along well with others, even people who are different than me. I work well in groups. I seek out other people's ideas to solve problems because I know that by teaming with others, we can create better solutions than any one of us can alone. I am humble. 

  • HABIT 7-SHARPEN THE SAW (BALANCE FEELS BEST)

    Balance Feels Best

    I take care of my body by eating well, exercising, and getting sleep. I spend time with family and friends. I learn in lots of ways and lots of places, not just at school. I find meaningful ways to help others.
