Lake Villa District 41, including Thompson School, continues to make progress as we move forward with bringing Leader in Me to our students district-wide!
Leader in Me focuses on 21st century leadership, social-emotional learning, and life-skills for students. It creates a culture of student empowerment based on the idea that every child can be a leader. We will formally begin the process as a district during the 2019-2020 school year.
The process unites students, staff, and families around a common goal to prepare students with college, career, and life-readiness skills, such as:
Critical Thinking
Creativity
Self-Discipline
Vision
Initiative
Communication
Relationship Building
Goal Achievement
Public Speaking
Global Awareness
Social and Emotional Awareness
Teamwork
Listening Skills
Time Management
Leading Projects
Self-Directed Learning
Valuing Diversity
Problem Solving
To prepare for the upcoming year staff members are designing lessons for the start of our school year and participating in ongoing professional development activities.
We are looking forward to another AMAZING year at Thompson School!
