7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Life Lessons (from a workshop I attended, and the book by Steven R. Covey):
1) Be Proactive (self-awareness, take responsibility, consider '"Circle of Concern" and "Circle of Infulence')
2) Begin with the End in Mind (Sounds like good advice for Quality Counts participants!) personal vision, mission, mental and physical, benchmarks, goals, outcomes
3) Put First things First (prioritize, make To Do lists, clarify values, preserve and enhance relationships, make Deposits and Withdrawls from your "People Bank"
4) Think Win-Win ( mutually beneficial resolutions, consider other points of view and alternative strategies)
5) Seek first to Understand, then Be Understood (empathy, be genuine)
6) Synergize (value differences, create NEW solutions, 1+1 can = 3!)
7) Sharpen the Saw (Renewal, Avoid Burn-Out,Take care of yourself: physical, mental, spiritual, social)

VPK Kindergarten Readiness Test Results

For the ELC System Meeting, Lisa Feeney collated a report stating: For the past three years, analyses of the FLORIDA and BROWARD COUNTY kindergarten screening data indicate that "children who complete the VPK program out perform their peers who have not completed the program on each of the kindergarten screening measures."

Congratulate your VPK Providers and their VPK Staff!!!!
