Leadership Lessons
I loooooove teaching this leadership class. Here's some of the resources I've developed.
I am happy to provide these resources completely free of charge.
If you would like to support my work, you can Venmo me (@sabocat_teacher) or purchase something from my Amazon wishlist (personal or classroom).
Identity
Who I Am... Today :-)
This activity encourages students to reflect on who they are today by describing their personality, interests, and goals. They’ll fill in prompts about their likes, dislikes, and personal strengths, as well as define what leadership means to them. A self-portrait section adds a creative touch, making this a fun and personal way for students to express their identity!
Life Lines
Students reflect on key life events by mapping their highs and lows on a timeline. This helps them recognize growth, resilience, and leadership potential. A simple but powerful way to spark self-awareness and discussion!
My Strengths Shield
This activity is all about helping students see their identity as their superpower and their strengths as their shield! This is a great way for students to reflect on what makes them strong and the community that surrounds them. It’s all about celebrating who they are and what makes them powerful!
Group Work Dynamics
Understanding Group Roles
This activity helps students recognize different group roles and how they can grow as leaders. They’ll analyze scenarios, identify where each person falls on the Leadership Ladder, and discuss ways to help them improve. By reflecting on their own role, students will learn how to contribute more effectively and support their team. The goal is to build self-awareness, teamwork, and leadership skills in a fun and engaging way!
The Four Tendencies
This activity helps students discover their tendency—Upholder, Questioner, Obliger, or Rebel—by taking a short quiz. They’ll reflect on how their tendency affects leadership and teamwork, then collaborate on a Tendency Manifesto to explore strengths, challenges, and ways to work with others. The goal is to build self-awareness and improve group dynamics!
