High School Student Leadership Activities

Help me give my students lessons in leadership! My students will read "Elevate", reflect on their own leadership skills with the activity kit and prompt cards, and practice running school events using the Midland radios.

My Project

I have over thirty high school students who are interested in developing their public speaking and leadership skills. They frequently help to run school fundraisers or school wide events. With these Donor Choose items, I hope to accelerate that learning through enrichment activities using the Visualz 5 minute activity kit, the leadership reflection and writing prompt cards, and reading a SEL/motivational book together about by R. Glazer. We will work on their communication skills during school events using the Midland radios. They will be so excited to do all of these activities!
