Sacred Heart Schools is the first school in Kentucky to adopt the House of Shine leadership development curriculum and one of only three K-12 school systems in the country. SHINE refers to the Strengths, Hobbies, Interests & Irritants, Needs, and Experiences that make them unique. This is a self-discovery framework that JFLI will integrate into the K-12 leadership development curriculum at SHS, for professional development of staff and to continue to build a culture of leadership at SHS. Led by Dr. Claudia Beeny, three House of Shine team members trained faculty, staff, and administration to use the House of Shine methodology. Each SHS staff member chose a project to implement using the SHINE framework.
The curriculum is focused on understanding yourself and making the most of your talents and gifts. Beyond discovering your SHINE, the program will be the catalyst that helps each individual activate it, implement it, and grow it, so each can make their corner of the world a little brighter.
Lauren Hitron, Director of the Jean Frazier Leadership Institute at Sacred Heart Schools, said, “House of Shine is the perfect partner for the Jean Frazier Leadership Institute because we believe that self-awareness is the foundation of leadership development. The House of Shine team, led by Dr. Beeny, curated the perfect training for our team to implement the House of Shine framework into leadership programming and use it to enhance the leadership culture at Sacred Heart Schools. We are looking forward to sharing our SHINE with all of our community. Look for the yellow jackets around campus!
Ten SHS Staff received the Shineologist Certification from House of Shine.
