Endorsed by The Virginia
Association of Secondary School Principals
This graduate level
course (3 hrs)--developed by
VASSP and VCU--is designed
to prepare beginning and experienced teachers to extend the middle level
and high school curriculum into the domain of student leadership through
co-curricular activity advising. A
practical overview of theories, policies and practices necessary for the
development and instruction of student leadership and co-curricular
activities will be presented. Topics include the essential components of
professional planning, organizational management, interpersonal skills,
resource management, ethics and leadership.
Participants in this course will learn to identify potential student
leaders and maximize the leadership capacity and life skills development in
these students through meaningful, experiential, and service oriented
activities.
School principals have
long recognized that effective student leadership programs are an
essential component of a well administered school and a critical aspect of
student development. The Virginia Association of Secondary School Principals
has worked with VCU to develop this program and a certification process to
identify and recognize teachers who have completed training in student
leadership and co-curricular activity advising.
