Leadership Training at AAL

Arizona Academy of Leadership will maintain a Back to Basics (all subject areas are taught) focus while adding a leadership and service component.  Students, attending AAL, will benefit from this program by learning new and exciting leaderhship skills while simultaneously building their sense of self-worth and confidence. 

For example, the leadership qualities of oral and written communication, problem analysis, judgement organization, decisiveness, and character will be taught to each student.  Our kindergarten through sixth grade students, under the direction of their classroom teacher, will plan and participate in community service projects twice each academic year to put leadership into practice.  Likewise, students in grades four through six will not only participate in service projects but they will take on a greater role in the planning and implementation of the community service projects that will occur.  The matrix of leadership skills to be implemented is as follows: (italics indicate continued reinforcement of leadership skill).

Students in grades three through sixth will complete Leadership Development Plans.  The development plans consist of the student and teacher working together to select a leadership skill he or she wishes to improve upon during the quarter.  Students may choose to apply their development plan to the academic or personal setting.  After making the skill selection, the student and teacher will work to set a specific goal along with activities which he or she can complete to help them reach their goal.
