INFORMATION ABOUT THE STUDENT LEADERSHIP CLASS:

The Student Leadership Class is a course for students who seek opportunities to expand and deepen their group and individual skills in order to positively impact their lives and their community.

  • Building on collaborative skills and habits of mind, students will gain knowledge and expertise in leadership skills including goal setting, effective communication, organization time management, and collaborative strategies.
  • Students solve relevant and current school and community issues by working collaboratively and independently on high level, real-world tasks such as project proposals, portfolios, and presentations.
