How the plan works

1First 8 Days come first
Aug. 20-31 is protected for classroom culture and the eight daily leadership modules.
2Habit 3 begins Sept. 1
Big Rocks, Time Matrix, and Keeping Commitments establish the year's planning routines.
3AI finishes by Sept. 25
Two short AI lessons per week are paired with the current Leader in Me focus.
4One Common Sense lesson weekly after AI
The order is intentionally changed so each digital lesson aligns to the current habit.
5Overlap is spiral practice
Shared routines, vocabulary, and products replace duplicate instruction.
6Final nine weeks are application
No new Common Sense lessons; students transfer learning through projects and reflection.
