Course Description

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.

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

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
• 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

Communication Skills and Entrepreneurial Thinking

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).

Project Planning and Small Team Leadership

In this unit, students learn study skills, organization techniques, and project management best practices, giving them a skill set that will help them in small group work in school and beyond. Students will also explore various leadership roles, including that of project steward, manager, coach, and more (overnight and extended day participants).

Job Description

The Leadership Instructor will guide students through the Education Unlimited Leadership curriculum to help them become more clear, confident, and effective leaders, and to help them enjoy leadership activities. In addition to teaching, instructors will be responsible for assisting students as needed in one-on-one feedback sessions, and leading students in a showcase at the end of camp. Instructors will also be responsible for tracking student work and handing in any deliverables to the camp director and EU home office. In addition to teaching responsibilities, on-campus instructors should be available and willing to assist the camp director with active supervision, recreational activities, and some administrative tasks.
