The Guidance Department of Plain Elementary School serves students, parents, teachers, staff, community and friends for the purpose of helping our children enjoy learning. The counselors will be visiting each classroom and sharing the 7 Habits from Stephen R. Covey’s, The Leader in Me. They are as follows:
Habit 1: Be Proactive
Habit 2: Begin With the End in Mind
Habit 3: Put First Things First
Habit 4: Think Win-Win
Habit 5: Seek First to Understand Then to be Understood
Habit 6: Synergize
Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw
In small groups, the counselors work with students with similar needs such as Family Changes, Getting Along With Others, and Study Skills. Individuals may come to counselors for sharing a happy or sad time, for encouragement, for consolation and support. As a team, we work together to provide a safe and happy place for our children to learn.
