- Leadership skills are transferable and valuable in all aspects of life, from personal to professional.
Why assess students’ leadership skills?
Renzulli Learning now offers opportunities for all students to assess their leadership potential. Some students may have a great deal of confidence in their ability to be a leader but lack opportunities in school or home to apply these skills. Other students may lack confidence in being a leader although you see great potential in them. How can educators help students develop leadership skills? The first step is to learn how confident they already are about leadership and that is why they will complete this brief assessment included in Renzulli Learning.
When students complete the Renzulli Learning Leadership Scale, they can actively begin to think about leadership. Positive leaders have important skills that can be improved and developed, including problem-solving, working in a team, communication, planning, and thinking about how to help others and Renzulli Learning helps students improve their leadership skills over time by focusing on areas such as communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and decision-making, both in and out of the classroom.
Why teach leadership?
Current research on this important topic indicates that students can learn initial leadership skills and improve their emerging skills over time. Educators understand that teaching students how to be leaders enables them to learn skills that help them succeed in life. Experiencing leadership opportunities in school teaches students about executive function skills as well as how to work more collaboratively with others, solve problems, develop independence, and think more critically and creatively. Learning leadership skills can increase students’ confidence and enable them to work at making a positive difference in areas of interest.
How and where can this be done? Leadership can be learned in clubs, athletic opportunities, projects and regular curricular activities. Teachers can lead by example, by demonstrating the qualities of good leaders (empathy, kindness, fairness, listening skills) and can model the behaviors of strong leaders as well. Teachers can profile good leaders by bringing in guest speakers or using Renzulli Learning to highlight enrichment opportunities that present positive leaders. Teachers can also assign projects and books about excellent leaders and use real-life case studies of successful leaders. Multiple opportunities exist for teachers to use Renzulli Learning to teach leadership skills.
