Course Description: High School Leadership Camp Leadership skills are one of the most important traits that students will need to learn in order to be successful within any industry or profession, yet many of these skills are abstract and can be difficult to teach. Education Unlimited is proud to introduce a new camp that focuses on creating great leaders through three key areas of leadership development: Knowing Yourself as a Leader : By understanding motives and personal values, students will be provided with a firm foundation to build the leadership skills that best suit their individual leadership style. Through personality and leadership self-assessment tests, students will benefit from guided self-evaluation to determine the management style that best fits their leadership goals. As part of the self-assessment, we will also consider how to best communicate with other types of leaders. Communicating with Others : Once students understand their leadership style and goals, they are then provided with the skills they will need to communicate that direction to others. Our communications studies will cover presentation skills, meeting management, and effective writing for the workplace. Each week of camp, students will: Give a persuasive or informative presentation Lead meetings with their peers Write proposals and communicate to others with clarity and professionalism Practical Hands-On Experience Learn by Doing : Weekly projects simulate entrepreneurial and community leadership from inception through planning to action. Each project includes budget and time management, delegation of responsibilities, and effective teamwork. These projects may include: Planning and implementing an event for a large student body Development and implementing of a marketing campaign for an upcoming event Arranging and completing a community service project plan with an action plan for implementation Developing and performing a community needs assessment, then creating a presentation of results and suggested actions Middle School Leadership Camp Our middle school session of A Summer Leadership encourages the development of leadership skills spanning the areas of communication, entrepreneurial thinking and project planning/small team leadership. Students will rotate through multiple classes daily, and the program will culminate in a capstone leadership project which allows students to apply the skills they learn throughout the week. Communication Skills and Entrepreneurial Thinking seminars are the cornerstones of the core curriculum, and in these two courses students will learn by doing, create project plans, and work on learning to present their plan to an audience with the goal of learning how to bring a project from the idea stage to actual implementation. The Project Planning and Small Team Leadership (supplemental learning time for overnight and extended day camp students) is a workshop period where students will further explore ideas presented in their two core seminars, learn theories of leadership, have time to develop their project ideas and flesh them out, and receive personalized assistance on their projects. Communication Skills : Our communication skills unit instills confidence and develops effective interpersonal skills through fun and interactive public speaking exercises, such as campaign speeches, student congress, and negotiations. Students will develop multiple speeches and will practice speaking in public during each day of the program (all participants). Entrepreneurial Thinking : Leaders need to think creatively, market their ideas, and work with limited resources. In this unit, students will develop their skills as leader-entrepreneurs through hands-on activities designed to encourage their skills as
