On Wednesday all the leaders had a meeting. Our first topic to discuss was the artwork that we are doing on the chorus box. The other thing that we talked about was how far along everyone was in achieving their merit badges. I showed the care value of active thinking by putting forward lots of good ideas. I showed the learner quality of collaborating.

While we were there we found out what the city council does in our community. We then split off into groups and went with a council member the learn about their role. After learning about the city council we went out for lunch then took the bus home.

Term 1 Integrated Learning - Leadership

We have been learning all about What makes a good leader.

Here is a link to the Leadership modelling book.

We identified that good leaders show 6 main character traits. These are Integrity, goal focused, trustworthy, active thinker, resilient, motivational.

The leadership trait that I think I show the most is motivational because I encourage people to give it a go when I am a PAL or at a PAL game.

The leadership trait I would most like to develop is active thinker because I'm not always making the right choices.

Something NEW I have learned about leadership is leaders are not always good sometimes they make bad decisions and think its the right one.

The SOLO level that I reached during this unit of learning is multicultural because I cant name all of the traits in one go but I can name over half

(see slide 2 of the leadership modelling book for this)

My next step in learning about leadership is to apply everything that I have learned about leadership to my own leadership roles.
