Leadership That Reaches Every Student

About the Book

All too many students enter and eventually graduate school ill-equipped for academic, professional, and personal success. But with the proper motivation, skills, know-how, and follow-through that come with being a leader, those same students could shape the future in profound ways. To that end, this empowering guide shows teachers and parents how to ensure that all students realize their potential by engaging the leader within.

Through leadership, young adults develop core values, solve problems, meet challenges, and make a genuine difference in the world. Complete with a survey, discussion and reflection questions, and activities for teachers, parents, and students themselves, this well-researched workbook offers practical tools to help every young adult become a leader by:

• Thinking critically and honing decision-making skills
• Developing personal accountability
• Rising above "anti-leaders" and building healthy relationships
• Fostering good attitudes that reinforce positive behavior
• Developing strong work ethics
• Initiating short- and long-term planning and goal-setting

Leadership That Reaches Every Student will not only help individual students to continually strive for-and consistently achieve-academic and personal excellence, but it will also aid communities in making great strides toward closing the achievement gap plaguing schools today.
