WHAT CAN A
LEADERSHIP
CLASS DO FOR YOUR
SCHOOL?
-
The answer depends on two things: what is happening in your school already, and
who is taking your course. Both of the elements change from year to year, and
so something that you did last year may not work this year or vice versa.
The following are activities that have been performed by leadership classes:
-
- morning announcements
| - managing display cases
|
- blood donor clinic
| - school tour guides for guests
|
- peer helping
| - assembly set-up
|
- poster making
| - envelope stuffing for charities
|
- organize party for local seniors
| - introduce speakers
|
- run BBQ's at lunch
| - guides for Parent Nights
|
- welcome newcomers to school
| - run library orientation
|
- timers and scorers for athletic events
| - set-up for activity
days
|
- run noon hour intramurals
| - guides for Open House
|
- emcee assemblies
| - ushers for school play
|
- run home form contests
| - run canned food drive
|
- Big Brothers or Sisters to elementary students
|
-
There are many more events and activities that can be handled by a leadership
class. What the students need to learn is that leadership can be shown and
learned at all levels of the organization and running of an event. An assembly
cannot run if the chairs have not been put in the gym. Design and choose events
that suit the abilities of your students. Allow them to succeed in organizing
meaningful, real-life events. They, in turn, will learn leadership skills, and
your school will benefit from their successes.
