Student Leadership

AT LAST: A complete leadership program for Years 5 & 6 and elected student leaders…that’s easy-to-run and takes little teacher time.

 

 

The Young Leaders Program, that’s already in 1,200 Australian schools, has been completely revamped to fit into contemporary Australian schools.

As a result of teacher feedback we made sure that the new Young Leaders Program is easy for teachers to use, caters for more students, and is more affordable than the previous version … and takes up less teacher time as well, which is a huge bonus.

It’s three programs in one

The Young Leaders Program has three parts. There’s a practical program for both Year 5 and Year 6 as well as an Induction Program for elected leaders. All three programs feature four building blocks of student leadership that are specific to the Young Leaders Program. The four building blocks are wonderful foundations to extend leadership development throughout the school.

A leadership program in a box

Everything you need to run this program now is at your finger tips! Here’s what’s you get: a comprehensive teacher manuals with quick start guides written in teacher language; a complete set of lesson plans with motivating activities; modern student workbooks; a set of posters; a class set of leadership cards; pre and post evaluation activities; and certificates of completion. It even has a letter to parents … there’s an at home component that parents will love! 

Each teacher can get their own copy of the program

There’s nothing more annoying than sharing one program with multiple grades so each program is available in PDF format on a disc on the inside cover. You can print as many copies of the teacher’s manuals and lessons as you need as well as multiple copies of the student workbooks.
 

Part 1: Personal leadership
Second last year of primary school

This six session program introduces kids to the four building blocks of student leadership. It focuses on developing personal leadership before introducing them to public leadership in the following year. This solid leadership training gives kids the background they need to be effective role models for their peers and set a positive tone at the top of the school.

 

Part 2: Public leadership
Last year of primary school

A highly motivating four week program that needs a minimum of formal teaching. It combines in-school learning activities that kids already do, with at-home chores (parents will love this!) for successful completion. This part of the program focuses on the skills and mindsets they need for leading others.

 

Part 3: Induction Program

This two by 60 minute Induction program will prepare elected students for their positions of leadership and give them a greater understanding of leadership in general. Importantly, it will make sure all your student leaders get on the same page. It provides a valuable term meeting guide so that leaders continue to receive valuable teacher support.

Posters

This attractive set of posters displays the four building blocks, the mindsets required and essential leadership behaviours for each.

Leadership cards

This versatile pack of leadership cards outlines 32 leadership qualities that are used within the class lessons.
 

 

 Here’s what your colleagues say:

“I found the sessions easy to follow and engaging for my
students. The teacher notes are very clear and helped me get
a real picture of what kids should do in each session. I love the
printable proformas and templates.”
Kim Ritchie Year 6 coordinator Vic

“The NEW Young Leaders Program is a great enhancement to our
existing leadership program. It’s sequential, enjoyable for kids
and importantly, easy for teachers to implement. The concept
of personal and public leadership adds a new dimension to our
programs. I know parents will see great value and fully support
this program.”
Andrew Forrest, Principal Baxter PS Vic
