- The topic of leadership has come up a lot lately, and I am always looking for ways to give individuals leadership opportunities. During advisory I asked the class to share out what qualities they thought a good leader should have. They had great ideas. Later, in a lesson, they reflected and share some more about qualities of good leaders, and identified people in their lives that possess some of those qualities. They really came up with an amazing list (see pic) and they understood that you don't have to have all of those qualities to be a good leader. We will continue to have pop-up lessons about leadership as well as opportunities to lead.
