Leadership classes provide schools with the opportunity to work with students in-depth on leadership growth. Whether it is offered as an elective, social studies credit or something else, the struggle for many leadership class teachers is what, where, and how...
- What do I teach in a leadership class?
- Where can I find resources and support for my class?
- How do I put the curriculum together and grade it?
These questions and many more will be answered in our two-day intensive academy for leadership class teachers!
