THE 7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE

During the next months we will connect Dalton with the
practicle elements of this theory.
Parkhurst meets Covey.


1. BE PRO ACTIVE
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.
2. BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND
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, and look for ways to be a good
classmate.
3. PUT FIRST THINGS FIRST
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.
4. THINK WIN - 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 third alternatives.
5. SEEK FIRST TO UNDERSTAND, THEN TO BE UNDERSTOOD
I listen to other people's ideas and feelings. I try to see things
from their viewpoints. I listen to others without interrupting. I am
confident in voicing my ideas. I look people in the eyes when talking.
6. SYNERGIZE
I value other people's strenghts 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 alone. I am humble.
7. SHARPEN THE SAW
I take care of my body by eating right, exercising, and getting sleep.
I spend time with family and friends. I learn in lots of ways and
lots of places, not just in school. I take time to find meaningful
ways to help others.
