Leadership+and+Teaching

= = This is a CoP community is built around leadership and teaching. I see leadership as an important part of growth and development of our young people. Whether strong and outgoing or a quiet and reflective, all students should know the basics of what it means to lead a group. I believe that giving students leadership opportunities engages them in their community leading to stronger and better learning opportunities. I'm interested in sharing how others run student leadership opportunities and being a clearinghouse for developmentally appropriate activities for students.
 * = Introduction =

From TED.com: "The TED Talk on the right from Kiran Bir Sethi shows how her groundbreaking Riverside School in India teaches kids life's most valuable lesson: "I can." Watch her students take local issues into their own hands, lead other young people, even educate their parents."

This is what I believe student leadership does for students. It empowers them to solve world problems and become "I can" citizens.
