At the beginning of this year, our school began to participate in the Youth for Tomorrow program which enables a selected group of students to participate in activities that will impact the school community in various ways. As a school leader, I wanted to take the opportunity to act as a participant with these students to make our community better. As a participant, I was able to lead group discussions and help organize school initiatives that provoke community outreach.
Before in the program, I was excited to interact with our students in an informal setting to make an impact on our school community. These type of informal settings provide a platform to build a positive rapport with your students. I believe this initiative had a positive effect on our students. Although this program developed a beneficial environment for our students to discuss topics such as bullying, social media, etc., I believe many students did not take the program seriously and as the school leader, I should have made it known about the seriousness of the issues of discussion.
As the leader, I would have selected a group of students who could be beneficial leaders and make an impact on others. After selecting these students, I would have selected students who could benefit from the topics discussed in the program. For the upcoming school year, I hope to make these changes to make a more profound impact on our school community.
Additionally, I believe this activity connects directly with what we’ve learned EDLE 610. As school leaders, we must develop opportunities for our students to succeed and become productive citizens. Offering this program doesn’t only impact your school, but it reaches out into the community.
