INFORMATION ABOUT THE STUDENT LEADERSHIP CLASS:
The Student Leadership Class is a course for students seeking opportunities to expand and deepen their group and individual skills to positively impact their lives and 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.
- In some schools, the course is customized to meet the needs of formal student organizations such as student council.
- However, this course is adaptable across various student needs and student populations.
