Helping Students Develop Leadership Skills
Resilience, initiative, commitment, and emotional security are just some of the necessary leadership skills students need to succeed both in and out of school. Unfortunately, many students aren't developing them today. What if there was a straightforward way to teach students these essential leadership skills? That's why we designed one of the Habitudes courses - Habitudes for Building Student Leaders - to be used as a leadership curriculum for today's students.
Practical Lesson Plans
We believe all students have the capacity to become authentic leaders and rise to the challenges the emerging generation will face. A great place to start developing these critical leadership skills is within middle and high school students already exhibiting an interest in leadership, like those in student government, student ambassadors, and other leadership clubs.
Habitudes isn’t just another high school leadership program. Grounded in extensive research, our courses utilize language, images and stories specifically designed to resonate with today's emerging generation, teaching life skills and leadership characteristics in a fresh, engaging way.
Habitudes for Building Student Leaders helps middle and high school students:
- Give feedback to people in a way that builds up both the individual and the whole team
- Embrace empathy towards others allowing the ability to listen and seek to understand before committing to an action
- Lead others through mistakes and allow a team to learn and grow
- Reduce anxiety by correctly understanding what is within their control, within their influence and what is out of their control
