Session Eleven

Session Description

Students will once again collaborate to teach a twenty-five minute session on a leadership theory, practice or model that is relevant to the course objectives. This is a real session with the expectation that we will all learn something valuable from our fellow students and have the opportunity to demonstrate leadership skills in your work as a team.

Objectives

By the end of this session, students will be able to:

• Apply the lessons from the previous sessions to the task of teaching

• Demonstrate the ability to work as a team toward a common objective

• Articulate a lesson on an important topic relevant to principled leadership

• Practice their leadership style in a team environment

Assignment Parameters and Expectations

• Create a twenty minute lesson drawing from a book or source of your choosing.

• Your goal is to teach the rest of the class an existing framework that was not covered throughout the course.

• You can include new/personal ideas about the framework you choose, but it should still originate from a source. 

• Describe or demonstrate, in depth, how this concept relates to leadership.

• The lesson may be delivered in any manner you choose.

• Interaction is encouraged.

• Each group member must play an active, visible role.

• Visual aids and other teaching devices are encouraged.

• The insight and takeaways should be clear and meaningful.

  • We’re looking for a single memorable takeaway.

• Outside resources are highly encouraged.

• Depth is more meaningful than breadth.

• Do not simply regurgitate a topic we have already covered. Expand upon it. Bring something new. Be engaging and significant.
