STUDENT LEADERSHIP COURSE
CURRICULUM ACADEMY
July 27 - 28, 2015
Austin Marriott South: 4415 S IH 35 Frontage Rd, Austin, TX 78744
Designed to meet a variety of student needs on a secondary campus, the course provides an opportunity to
study, practice, and develop group and individual leadership and organizational skills. This authentic learning
experience closes the gap between the knowledge and skills most students learn in school and the knowledge
and skills needed in 21st century communities and workplaces. Taught in a participatory environment, the
class introduces students to the concepts of leadership and citizenship, provides an opportunity to explore
and implement service learning, includes the benefit of student activities while addressing skills required in
goal setting as well as project planning, implementation, and evaluation. Inherent in the class structure is the
development of creativity and innovation, critical thinking and problem solving as well as communication and
collaboration. Instructors will focus on ways to evaluate learning in those areas.
