领导活动为孩子们建立领导人滑雪lls in the Classroom

As students grow older, there is a certain amount of responsibility placed on their shoulders. Whether they have ‘official’ leadership positions or are simply the oldest cohort on campus, they need to understand the importance of their roles as student leaders and the qualities they need to possess.

是什么使一个好的领导者？

成为学生领袖不仅仅是向一个新孩子展示教室里的绳索。这是关于成为一个独立的思想家，他了解如何作为团队的一部分工作并积极影响周围的人。

尽管领导能力可以自然而然地出现，但研究表明，在明确教授并获得了领导机会时，任何人，即使是幼儿，也可以学习和发展领导才能。如果您赞成建构主义的想法（我们的教师团队所做的！），那么您相信孩子们可以通过将过去的知识应用于新的了解世界的方式来发展他们的领导能力。

那么，我们应该教我们的学生释放他们的领导潜力呢？

OurLeadership Qualities – Poster Pack包括海报，突出了9种杰出领导者的素质。这些丰富多彩的海报一定会帮助您的学生了解他们如何成为学校领导者。

It includes the following qualities of a good leader:

沟通技巧和可信赖的本性

Communicating isn’t just about being a confident speaker! A good leader knows when to speak, how to speak, and also how to listen effectively. In order to inspire trust in others, students must speak with good intentions – this means speaking with honesty and kindness.

Creative and Flexible

Modeling a creative and flexible mindset is important as a student leader. A good leader is able to evaluate a situation quickly and come up with the best course of action. And if that action doesn’t provide the best results, a good leader is able to adapt and change their course to incorporate new ideas and innovations.

Responsible

良好的领导不是要负责；这是关于支持您领导的人。学生领导者对自己的行动和选择负责。如果出现问题，他们不会怪别人或找借口。相反，他们承担责任，从中学习，纠正并继续前进。当领导者成功时，他们会谦虚，认识到周围的人的努力。

有动力和积极的

Having a positive mindset is integral to inspiring and leading others! As educators, it is important that we instill in our students a belief that whatever goal has been set can and should be accomplished, even if it seems impossible at first. This type of confidence inspires others to be positive! Talk to your students about having成长心态（或使用我们的一些有趣的资源！）并鼓励您的班级互万博足球体育相激励朝着共同的目标迈进。积极进取和激励他人是成为好领导者的重要组成部分。

奉献并以身作则

这也许是所有最重要的品质！一个伟大的领导者以身作则。年轻的学生经常仰望敬畏和钦佩的年龄较大的学生！他们密切关注并复制了年长学生的行为。一个好的学生领导者了解他们作为年轻学生的榜样的责任。

Not only do they recognize this responsibility, but a good leader is excited about the opportunity to lead and guide others! They would never ask anyone to do anything that they are not willing to do themselves.

孩子的领导活动

So you know what makes a good leader … but how do we help our students develop all these great leadership skills? Here are some of our favorite social and emotional activities that are all about leadership.

All About Me

在学年开始时，您可能已经递给学生a template to fill out about themselves并鼓励他们与同学交易，以了解他们的相似性和差异。您是否意识到这种普通的破冰活动也是领导活动？

Simply getting kids to sit down and think about describing themselves is a means to get them more comfortable with their own identity, an important part of being a strong leader. You might opt to try it again, only this time ask your students to focus less on material items and more on adjectives to describe themselves. This自我感知工作表can be a great scaffold. or you might give each student apositive self-talk writing promptto get them started.

Responding to Stress Group Skit

这个社会情感课requires students to be broken out into groups to perform a skit that demonstrates how to respond to stress. The students will work together to brainstorm, write, and act out their skit, giving your students a chance to practice being at team player and finding their strengths in group work.

Reaction Charades

对于许多孩子来说，学习评估情况并做出反应并不是最简单的事情。这些reaction charades是一种有趣的方式，可以帮助孩子们发展对社会线索并提高领导能力的理解。学生拉动指导卡并采取各种反应，而同学猜测学生在做什么。

What Makes a Leader?

In thisWhat Makes a Leader? worksheetdesigned for second- and third-graders, students explain the words and actions they see leaders use and list examples of how they might model leadership at home and in school.
