How I Rank Myself in Qualities Of
Being A Leader
This is a self
assessment survey. The students are instructed to take the survey and then
reflect on their findings. For example, if s student makes a check mark under
“I need help in how to do this” for the second slot which assesses how prepared
a student is or is not, they can reflect on how to be better prepared from
suggestions from students, teachers etc. and self reflection. This particular
survey could later tie into their “SMART Goals Worksheet” which be discussed
next.
S.M.A.R.T Goals
S.M.A.R.T stands for Specific,
Measurable, Action-oriented, Realistic and Relevant and Timely.
This particular worksheet is set up to help the students set practical goals
that will lead them to success. The students must identify their goal and the
goal could bridge off of the Leadership Survey they just took prior to you
hanging them the S.M.A.R.T worksheet. Go through each letter and explain what
each part of the acronym means and give example on how their goal can fit these
criteria.
Clarion County Youth Council
Volunteer Information Form
This form is to be
filled out by the students, it is all the necessary information they will need
to acquire in regards to where they are volunteering. It also will help the
students organize who does what, the major responsibilities, the needs of where
ever they are volunteering and any training, clearances or preparation for the
volunteer opportunity. Furthermore, we also would like them to document the
time they put into the volunteer agency.
Planning an Activity: The 8 W’s
This will be a detailed
worksheet explaining what they plan to do for “Come Together Clarion.” “The 8
W’s” is a worksheet designed to make planning the activity a lot easier; it is
a detailed breakdown of what needs to be done and what potentially could need
to be done. For example, line five is in regards to any possible funds that
maybe required for whatever the students plan to do. It is important to analyze
all the potential successes and shortcomings as well for the event to be a
success. They can also break down the responsibilities as well.
Accountabili-Buddy Interview and
Goal Setting Exercise
Each student will have
to pick an accountabili-buddy, originally they were supposed to pick their
buddies at the youth council but due to the fact that you guys weren’t present
they can pick one from their school (of course it has to be someone who attends
the Youth Council sessions). Once they pick their partners they are going to
interview their partners. This is a worksheet about the Youth Council program
their likes and dislikes, improvement ideas and this worksheet bounces off of
the S.M.A.R.T Goals work sheet. Have the students fill out this worksheet
thoroughly and honestly. We also would like to know how they are going to
implement their S.M.A.R.T Goals and they will discuss how they did so at the
next Youth Council.
Who’s At Your Table
“Who’s At Your Table”
is a worksheet to help the students decide who are the influential people that
sit at their “table”. For example, some influential people that sit at my
table: my mother, grandmother, best friends, Jay-Z because his work ethic
influences mine, etc. It helps all of us assess who is important to this and
why.
Some of the worksheets require follow up information that I will recieve from the teachers and in the next Youth Council Session.
