  4. The ideal leadership program: • Will be different for every school • Should reflect the school’s mission • Should start as early as possible- 8th through 12th grade • Should be inclusive- not just for obvious leaders • Should be student centered • Should foster a greater sense of community • Should be incorporated into the whole school • Should be fluid and open to change- keep evaluating so positions fit the student’s strengths.

  5. The process • Begin early. • Start talking about leadership with your younger students. • Give your students a voice. • They will be more invested in leadership if they help develop it. • Prepare them. • Be ready to tell them what the leadership job entails, don’t just throw them out there to sink or swim. • Support them. • Pay attention to what is happening and listen to them.
