How do you promote student leadership in your classroom? One way that I promote leadership with the students is by giving a list of Leadership Axioms. During the first days of school while review policies and procedures, the axioms are introduced. We use these to help us become a better leader.

That’s a great strategy for fostering student leadership! Introducing Leadership Axioms at the start of the school year sets a solid foundation for guiding students in developing leadership qualities. In addition to this, you might also consider providing opportunities for students to take on leadership roles within the classroom, such as leading group activities, managing classroom tasks, or being “classroom ambassadors” for specific projects. Encouraging students to set personal goals and reflect on their leadership growth can further support their development.
