Students participate in a group activity that requires skills such as collaboration, support, problem solving, flexibility, and trust.
A series of broad discussion questions on leadership.
Essential Questions allow students to keep the main idea in mind. They can provide the motivation to keep asking, learning, and being curious, in pursuit of answers to big questions.
Use one of the following Essential Questions to guide this Session:
- What strategies do people use when they encounter a problem or challenge?
- What skills are needed to be a community member?
- What is most important when collaborating with a group of people?
To make this step in the Session a powerful learning experience, frame the time as a sort of "learning lab" for students to test their skills. Refer back to how the group performed and reflected in the preceding steps. Encourage the group to set goals for skills they can improve on.
Consider tracking certain skill progress as the group progresses through the activities--such as shared voice, self-regulation, conflict-resolution, or interdependence.
