THE SCHOOL OF LEADERSHIP

TRAINING WITH A PURPOSE.

The School of Leadership is a ministry of Student Leadership University and provides educators and student leaders with a comprehensive leadership training program that can be implemented into any environment. In-depth leadership training is provided through eight engaging semester-long courses that equip students to develop strong and lasting leadership skills that will allow them to lead with intentionality and purpose.
This curriculum is designed to create a tried and true blueprint of what is required of those that desire to lead.  It’s for those that look at the state of the world and refuse to settle for the way things are. Those that are determined to leave the world better than they found it, not for praise or glory for themselves, but because God requires us to be good stewards of the gifts He has given us.

An Instructor’s Guide and Video Teachings are available for each course. Additionally, each course is available in an in-print version or digitally through a monthly or semester-long subscription.

Each Lesson Contains:

  • Leadership Objective – A concept or skillset that students will need to master to effectively lead with influence. Each lesson will encourage students to think, process, evaluate, discover, analyze, and create, and will build upon the other to ensure mastery of content.
  • Consider This – Stories bring concepts to life and create memorable experiences that will enable concepts to move from abstract to concrete learning. This section provides a foundational approach to providing students with the context needed to draw conclusions and gain knowledge.
  • Discover This – Discovery learning is an inquiry-based, constructivist learning theory that takes place in problem-solving situations where the student draws on his or her own past experiences and existing knowledge to discover facts, relationships, and new truths to be learned.
  • The Real-World Walkaway – This section will give students practical ways to implement leadership principles into the circumstances and realities of everyday life.
  • At the End of the Day – Students will consider thoughtful ideas and questions and record their ponderings so that their leadership growth is documented. This will provide them with the ability to see the many ways God has worked in their lives as they have gone through their own leadership journey.
