Leadership development in an urban program

摘要

As I reflect on my teaching experience at the Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences (CHSAS), I often wonder what aspect of the curriculum encouraged the leadership development of our students the most. Was it the FFA leadership training and career development events? Or maybe it was the Supervised Agricultural Experiences (SAE) that our students chose. How about the rigorous educational experiences or various community service projects? Based upon my experience, there are four areas that influenced the leadership development of CHSAS students. These areas include: classroom instruction. Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE), FFA, and work-based learning.
