Student Leadership Action Plan ZLE 2016-17

February 1, 2017
Anne Harrison, Steph Skelly
Vision Amplify student voice and leadership
(or confusion) Students learn and develop leadership through practical application of leadership
skills. These skills should be cultivated at a young age so that students understand
the concept of stewardship and ownership of their environments. When students are
provided with this opportunity, they experience responsible citizenship and engage
positively with community members. Students can practice the common
characteristics of effective leadership regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, religion, or
political affiliation. Those who are given the opportunity to engage in the process of
leadership development at an early age increase the capacity of involved citizens in
the future.
