Proposal: Leadership Spotlight

Rationale:
¨ Warm-up games have fulfilled their purpose: we have a strong team and a great repertoire of ice breakers/ team builders/warm ups to take into other leadership situations.
¨ There’s still a lot of value in having a short, relaxed activity at the beginning of each day as a centering activity
¨ 180 team members are ready for more autonomy and variety

Process: On a rotating basis, team members will be responsible for 5-10 minutes of programming for the team. Activities are not limited to but might include:

¨ A personal story about an experience with leadership
¨ A bio/anecdote about someone who has inspired/mentored you
¨ An activity related to a famous leader
¨ A current leadership issue from the global or national news, magazines, or our local town & school community
¨ A video or song clip
¨ An inspiring poem/quote/story
¨ A more “traditional” warm up
¨ A progress report from your current committees or activities
¨ A brief community service activity (petition, cards, letters, registrations, etc)
¨ Highlight a leadership or volunteer opportunity from our school or community


Standards:
¨ Thought, effort, and planning should go into your spotlight. This should not be an assignment where you just wing it
¨ Consult w/ team members or facilitator ahead of time if you need ideas
¨ Plan & request ahead of time any needed materials or changes in meeting space
¨ Adjust your plans according to what’s happening in the class and what else is being presented. Let’s not have day after day of the same kind of thing!
