Leadership Development School Programs Extra-curricular Programs
Caught in the Middle • NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND • Students from families that can’t afford extra-curricular activities • Parents need to learn leadership skills • Students that lack motivation to participate • Loss of self-esteem • Teachers fear giving up control • Lack of guidance and opportunity to make complex decisions
Goal Leadership Development Extra-curricular Programs School Programs
Conclusion • Increase leadership activities that provide “hands-on” learning. • We need to increase leadership within the school curriculum • Extra-curricular activities heavily outweigh leadership in the classroom. • Do not let any student get “caught in the middle”. • Just imagine….what kind of leaders would we prepare if they were able to learn and apply leadership skills in both school and extra-curricular activities.
