THE HEART (SOCIAL & EMOTIONAL)

The Leader in Me is FranklinCovey’s whole school transformation process. It teaches 21st century leadership and life skills to students and creates a culture of student empowerment based on the idea that every child can be a leader. Through high expectations, collaboration, utilization of cutting edge technology and professional practice, student leaders embrace a love of learning, discover their "voice", and learn the skills, attitudes, and behaviors to be proactive contributors in a diverse and changing world.

APPLICATION

The district has created a Makerspace rooms to ensure that all students have access to experiences. All staff members have access to the rooms and can connect the space to projects and ideas that they are exploring in the curriculum. Within the room we can use Keva Planks, circuit building, Dremel 3D printing, video and audio recording and editing.

We continue the use of Chibitronics which was starting in K-4 art classrooms. These reinforce science concepts on circuits and connect them to art experiences for our students. The actual STEM concept is in our science curriculum and addresses circuits.

THE HEAD (VISION & THOUGHT)

In February 2007, the Michigan Department of Education recognized Novi Meadows as a Blue Ribbon Exemplary School.
Counselors, Administrators and Staff collaborate to teach students to build positive, respectful relationships.
Teachers work in 2 person teams to help support students and their academic, social, and emotional growth.
All students participate in Vocal Music, Art and World Language classes throughout the year. In World Language students are exposed to five languages: Spanish, French, German, Japanese and Chinese.
5th and 6th grade students are given the opportunity to participate in Instrumental Music. Currently we have over 500 students playing in the band or orchestra.
We offer many clubs which meet before and after school which help students explore their talents and learn new skills.
