Rocky River Elementary earns Leader in Me
Lighthouse Status
Rocky River Elementary has been named a Leader in Me
Lighthouse School. Principal Sherry Richardson made the
announcement during Leadership Day on Friday, March 8. Rocky
River Elementary is one of 417 schools in the world and the
second in Union County to earn this prestigious certification.
Indian Trail Elementary earned its status in 2016.
Leader in Me (LiM) is an evidence-based, school improvement
model that empowers students with the leadership and life skills
they need to thrive in the 21st century. The model is based on a
theory of change known as the See-Do-Get cycle that creates new
paradigms, effective practices and real results.
FranklinCovey Education, a worldwide consulting and training
leader, awards the Leader in Me Lighthouse designation to schools
with a proven, well-rounded leadership model.
“I am extremely proud of the Lighthouse team and everyone
who was involved in helping us to get here,” said Principal Sherry
Richardson. “While the Lighthouse recognition is wonderful and
affirming, the reward is coming to work every day and being part
of the Rocky River Family.”
Lighthouse schools must meet nine standards that include a
Lighthouse team to oversee the implementation of the model,
demonstrate a school environment that reinforces the leadership
model, integration of leadership language, collaboration of staff
to build leadership in classrooms, parent involvement and hosting
events to share the leadership model.
Richardson added that “Rocky River is a place where students
belong, staff and students want to be and where everyone is a leader.”
