Students explain the words and actions they see leaders use and list examples of how they might model leadership at home and in school.
Leadership comes in many forms.
From the most visible people in our communities, like the police or the mayor to the unsung participants who make important and lasting impacts, students should be challenged to think about how leaders shape our lives with their words and actions.
This leadership worksheet is best used as an independent study as part of a social-emotional learning lesson on leadership. It can also be completed with a guided small group or as a class activity by projecting the worksheet via smartboard.

Scaffolding for Struggling Students
Students struggling with this concept might be supported by brainstorming 2 to 3 words that exemplify leadership and having them write those words at the top of their page. They will then use the words to draw pictures (instead of writing complete sentences or bullet-pointed phrases) to answer the questions listed.
