Building Leadership Skills

Help me give my students a 3-hole punch, pens, label maker refills, laminating sheets, and boarder for my new after school club that allows my scholars to display their leadership skills.

My Project

I have developed an after school club for kindergarten to 5th grade scholars. We will collect, review, score, provide feedback, and display great writing pieces.

My after school club's mission and vision is to build the critical thinking, problem-solving, comprehension, and communication skills necessary for academic success of my scholars.

As the year progresses, the scholars will become Thinking Maps judges and presenters representing leadership for our school. They will use the tools requested to become independent leaders for our school district. They will eventually run the program independently and train their peers on the program and policies.
