In order to sharpen the saw and continually work to improve in these seven habits, I will need to remind myself of the habits and work to incorporate them into my everyday routines. I have written blog posts about each one, now, that I can refer back to to remind myself of what I need to work on and the focus of each habit. I am extremely excited to learn how to become a more effective leader. Having these tools and techniques at my disposal encourages and challenges me to work to become even more effective than I already am. I am going to print out these seven habits as well and post them in my classroom to continually refer back to. After learning about each one, I know how valuable they are, I just need to remember to continually work on them.
This week when discussing this last habit with my colleague, Courtney, I will remind her that as teachers we can never be perfect. We can never be the best and we can never be done learning. This is probably the best habit to remember. We need to continually work to be more effective and increase our sphere of influence.
