Driving Purpose Through Practice: Strengthening the Leader in Me Journey
Purpose meets practice when vision is translated into action—and that was clearly evident in a recent, highly impactful meeting led by our School Coordinator, Ms. Zainab Shiram, with the Lighthouse Team members and PSHE teachers. The session marked a significant step forward in strengthening our Leader in Me initiative and aligning daily classroom practices with whole-school goals.
The meeting served as a focused learning space where participants were guided, step by step, on the effective use of the 4 Disciplines of Execution (4Dx) chart. With clarity and precision, Ms. Zainab demonstrated how student progress is to be recorded on classroom scoreboards, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and meaningful tracking across classes. These classroom scores will then merge to form the school scoreboard, offering a transparent and collective snapshot of progress.
At the heart of this initiative lies our School Wildly Important Goal (WIG)—a shared commitment that places students at the center of the journey. By actively engaging in scorekeeping and goal monitoring, students are not just observers of success; they become owners of it. Each recorded effort reflects responsibility, each update encourages accountability, and each milestone nurtures teamwork.
This structured yet empowering approach reinforces a culture where improvement is visible, progress is celebrated, and leadership is lived daily. Through thoughtful guidance and collaborative execution, this initiative ensures that every student counts, every effort matters, and every classroom contributes to a shared vision of excellence.
