FINAL EXAMS

 For the next few weeks, you all will be finishing up your Week 17 & 18 Final Exam! As we approach this holiday season, make an attempt to find inspiration from local leaders in our community. For North Carolinians, we are all about football, so it is no surprise to see our very own star quarter-back Cam Newton making a difference with his non-profit! Newton visited local Mecklenburg schools with gifts to teachers and students. The Cam Newton Foundation focuses on inner-city youth receiving educational resources and participating in extracurricular activities!

Week 18: Steps Toward Performing a Successful Community Service Project

Steps Toward Performing a Successful Community Service Project
During the course of the semester we covered many topics that can strengthen leadership. One of the things that you can do to exercise leadership is by designing a service project. If you are a bit stuck, here are 10 tips to help you out.
1.     Determine what is needed in your community/county.
2.     Determine what types of activities your have interest in and abilities to do.
3.     List all activities.
4.    Ask yourself, how you would rank the activities in order of importance, based on steps 1 & 2.
5.     After you decide upon your community service project, develop a plan.
6.    Carry out the project as planned!
7.     Document your club's efforts with photos, videotape, or written notes.
8.    As you work on this project, monitor the activities taking place and make adjustments as needed.
9.    Develop a summary report of your experience when the project has been completed. Share it with others.
10.  Feel good about your contribution to the community and positive learning experience.

We are almost done with Leadership Development!  Instead of taking a multiple choice exam, you will be working on 3 activities:
1.  Final Reflection
2.  Leadership Fable
3.  Forward Project
You will find the details for your assignments in Weeks 17 and 18.  The activities count as 25% of your grade.  Good luck!

FINAL EXAMS
Weeks 17 and 18 count for 25% of your final grade. To showcase what you have learned from Leadership Development, give your all to these assignments. You have all grown over the course of our semester and in reading your posts, I have seen each of you share a part of your own leadership journey. Add your personal story to your Week 17 and 18 assignments. The beauty of these projects is that they are student-centered and that they can be applied to the real world. Many of my former students have gone on to implement their forward projects -- you can do the same. Think of your last projects as the beginning of the next chapter in your leadership journey.

In Week 14, we discussed the importance of discipline! Exercising is a great task that requires discipline! This is a very difficult task for your teacher. LOL! As I take the approach to living a more healthier lifestyle, I'm trying to change my thoughts to positive and focused on long-term goals. What are some items you have a difficult time maintaining discipline? Emily Balcetis explains the scientific reasoning of why some people are more dedicated to exercising more so than others. You may easily apply this TED Talk to similar areas of your life.

Habit 3 : Put First Things First
How many times are we faced with prioritizing daily tasks? In order to an effective leader, we have to put "First Things First!" Let's make for sure tasks are completed in a timely manner, this is what build character and organizational skills.
"Habit 3 is about life management as well--your purpose, values, roles, and priorities. What are "first things?" First things are those things you, personally, find of most worth. If you put first things first, you are organizing and managing time and events according to the personal priorities you established"

This is an excerpt from this week’s lesson - Enjoy!

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
Habit 3 : Put First Things First!

Habit 1 says, "You're in charge. You're the creator." Being proactive is about choice. Habit 2 is the first, or mental, creation. Beginning with the End in Mind is about vision. Habit 3 is the second creation, the physical creation. This habit is where Habits 1 and 2 come together. It happens day in and day out, moment-by-moment. It deals with many of the questions addressed in the field of time management. But that's not all it's about. Habit 3 is about life management as well--your purpose, values, roles, and priorities. What are "first things?" First things are those things you, personally, find of most worth. If you put first things first, you are organizing and managing time and events according to the personal priorities you established in Habit 2.

Hope all is well in your world. Are you ready to start another excellent week of Leadership Development?? I hope so! This week we will be exploring the "Habits of Highly Effective People". Much of this week will be devoted to the ideas of the author Stephen Covey, who has written an important book on this subject. Notice the #1 habit of highly effective people - Be Proactive. Lesson learned, get started!

This is an excerpt from this week’s lesson - Enjoy!

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Habit 1 : Be Proactive 
Your life doesn't just "happen." Whether you know it or not, it is carefully designed by you. The choices, after all, are yours. You choose happiness. you choose sadness. you choose decisiveness. You choose ambivalence. You choose success. You choose failure. You choose courage. You choose fear. Just remember that every moment, every situation, provides a new choice. And in doing so, it gives you a perfect opportunity to do things differently to produce more positive results.

I know many of may not had a grand-stand public speaking experience but I view giving a presentation in class a form of public speaking or participating on a debate team or being an active leader in an extracurricular activity.
