There are many opportunities for your school to benefit from the work of the Leadership and Education Institute. We have worked on:
Workshops- Experiential workshops on a specific topic
Student Led training- Students are taught to lead a workshop
for other students. A learning experience for all, but an especially intense learning experience for the facilitators.
Dare 2 Be a Champion- School Field trip program at Family First Sports Park using leadership activities as well as rockwall, go-carts, and a variety of other activities.
Field Day- A development day brought to your school and led by teachers and parents. A great opportunity for teachers and parents to connect with students and see them work in a same way.
Alpine Tower- The Crown Jewel of the Leadership and Education Institute. The Alpine Tower is our most intense learning experience, both for the individual and the group.
T.A.G. Team Teaching- A workshop to turn a teaching staff into a working team by creating a Team Concept, Accessibility to other team members and shared Goals for the students—both personally and academically.
"Students whose teachers emphasize higher-order thinking skills and hands-on learning activities outperform their peers significantly. Students who engage in hands-on learning on a weekly basis outperform those who engage in this manner of instruction on a monthly basis. Students whose teachers conduct hands-on learning activities outperform their peers by 72% of a grade level in math and 40% of a grade level in science. This study indicates that the most effective classroom practices involve conveying higher order thinking skills and engaging in hands-on learning activities." Educational Testing Service 2001.
