Do the 7 Habits Work with Kids?

7 Habits Mind Map Click on the picture to see a larger version

Most of us at DE Smith and WA Porter are proficient practitioners of the 7 Habits. We understand what they mean and the implications they have for us personally and professionally. A burning question is, "How effective has our work been with kids?" In order to move forward, we need to be able to measure our effectiveness. We need the support of our parents and community, and people are going to be more inclined to join us if we can clearly show that this work has a profound effect on children. Please share your ideas on how you are measuring the effectiveness of 7 Habits with your students. What would you tell a corporation considering whether or not to spend several thousand dollars on this initiative for your campus? How do you know this is good for kids?
