Lighthouse Team in Action at BCLR: Turning Vision into Visible Practice
At BCLR, leadership is not a concept we talk about—it is a culture we live every day. The recent coordination session led by the LIM Coordinator, Ma’am Zainab Shehram, brought together team leads with a shared purpose: to strengthen execution, align goals and ensure that student leadership remains visible, meaningful and impactful across the school.
From the very beginning of the session, the energy in the room reflected a clear message: when leadership is intentional, progress becomes measurable.
From Vision to Execution: Strengthening 4DX
The discussion opened with a focused dialogue around the 4 Disciplines of Execution (4DX). Team leads reaffirmed the importance of consistent implementation across all levels, ensuring that Wildly Important Goals (WIGs) are not just displayed but actively lived in classrooms. Emphasis was placed on keeping scoreboards visible and purposeful, allowing both teachers and students to clearly see progress unfold week by week.
Class WIGs: Making Goals Visible and Meaningful
A strong focus was placed on refining class WIGs and lead measure scoreboards so they remain:
👉🏻Clear and measurable
👉🏻Aligned with school-wide priorities
👉🏻Student-friendly and simple to understand
👉🏻Regularly updated with evidence-based progress
Teachers were encouraged to involve students in monitoring their own growth, turning scoreboards into tools of motivation rather than decoration.
Empowering Students Through Individual WIGs
One of the most powerful moments of the session was the discussion on individual student WIG scoreboards. These were highlighted as essential tools for developing:
👉🏻Ownership of learning
👉🏻Accountability and self-reflection
👉🏻Goal-setting habits from an early age
The team agreed that age-appropriate, visually motivating formats would help students take pride in tracking their own progress.
Portfolios That Tell a Learning Story
Portfolios were revisited as living documents of growth rather than files of completed work. The focus remained on:
👉🏻Clear evidence of learning progress
👉🏻Documentation of LIM practices (WIGs, reflections, leadership tasks)
👉🏻Neatness, consistency, and quality of evidence
👉🏻Team leads shared practical suggestions to strengthen structure so that portfolios truly reflect each child’s leadership journey.
Student Lighthouse Team: Leading with Purpose
The session concluded with a powerful reminder that student leadership thrives when students are trusted with responsibility.
Discussions around the Student Lighthouse Team agenda centered on:
👉🏻Meaningful leadership roles
👉🏻Agendas aligned with LIM priorities
👉🏻Encouraging student voice, service, and responsibility
Teachers committed to guiding students in agenda planning, ensuring leadership is purposeful and action-driven.
A Shared Commitment to Leadership Excellence
The session ended on a note of unity and clarity. With aligned goals, visible scoreboards, purposeful portfolios, and empowered students, the Lighthouse Team at BCLR continues to turn leadership into action—one goal, one reflection, and one student at a time.
At BCLR, the lighthouse doesn’t just guide the way—it lights it up. ✨
