Leadership Super Integrated Thematic
Unit
Leadership is a theme that can lend itself to a wide
range of inter-connected activities and makes for a great rich topic.
As pupils
examine, contrast
and investigate leadership skills they can practise these in authentic
learning contexts within the school and/or wider community. They can interact
with leaders from the local or national community and be mentoed in their
own skills and attitudes.
This topic would be great for more senior
pupils in the school as they take on roles of mentoring or assisting
younger pupils or juniior classes.
|
Each section has
a range of starting ideas with them. These include online
interactive activities,
Mindmaps, printables, banner as well as a full range of
internet links for further resources. They are designed
to give the "Big Picture" from which pupils or
teachers can investigate specifics. For a unit like this
TIME is important. It can have so much curriculum coverage
that you can spend many weeks on it! Pupils could research
an area of interest to report back on. Take them through
the learning/information process, and open them up to life-long
learner skills and other essential skills in the unit through
matching ideas to the curriculum areas.
