On your campus or in your district, how do you allow students to lead? After reflecting on this question myself, I realized that I needed to learn more about this topic so I found a great resource to gain more student leadership strategies. I’m excited to have the authors of the new book “When Kids Lead”, Todd Nesloney and Adam Dovico, on the podcast to share about how to create future student and adult leaders!
In this Episode, we discuss:
- Student Leadership Characteristics
- Roles for New Leaders
- Essential Skills for student Leaders
- And Get Your Lead On
