Lakefield and @timrollwagen are doing some really great work in this area.

Iterating on your HMW question, starting by asking your users. I undertook a similar task last year and it will inform my planning for years to come. I can’t wait to see where this journey continues to lead and learn more about informal leadership, as well. Look forward to chatting on the 18th!

I appreciate that. And for the record, I did present it and I’ve been ask to present it again at the middle school assembly on Thursday!

I wonder if a big part of this is the feedback loop. Not just from teachers but from the students they are “leading”. To what degree are the leaders hearing from the students they are leading. survey data, kudos, conversations. I think…Read more

Of course, this is very connected to so much of what we talk about at cohort21, the “sphere of influence” and @gnichols concept of “leading from the middle.”

I’m partial to your second iteration. Like almost everything we do, so much of the…Read more

I love the way you said, “But the “P” that I wish I saw more often is much more intrinsic: passion; passion to give back to their community, to serve their school and to take on portfolios that they have been pursuing for years.” I think @lmcbeth‘s idea of perceived pressure plays a key role in the…Read more

Let’s all plug into this idea of reflecting. @hprosser, @lfarooq and @vwade and I are all interested in this integral part of education. I’d like to propose that the four us – and counting! – meet during our F2F to chat more about this and how we might make an action plan for this!

In the meantime, check out their blogs on this…Read more

This links to some of the work of you @lfarooq and what others have looked at in the past about passion and praise.

What is resonating with me about this post from @vwade is how leadership is tied up with expectations (real and perceived) about what…Read more

At Havergal, we have “Being a Health Promoting School” as one of our strategic initiatives, and it has resulted in some really great work. In terms of how we support our students directly, we run a chapter of Jack.org -…Read more

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I think that your question will be well understood by many in our schools. Too often we see students participating in leadership, sports, etc. for the wrong reasons. Back when I was in Guidance, one of the first questions I’d ask my students when they submitted their applications for leadership…Read more
