Many people do not fully experience the opportunity to lead others for various reasons. Those who naturally have an innate desire to lead get the most experience, but what about those who shy away from leadership, or just are not sure where to begin? Because this is a common scenario in workplace environments, personal and public relationships, and within family structures, we feel it is critical to expose children to various opportunities of leadership to begin the path of honing those skills to their own design. Five Oak Academy offers opportunities for leadership experience to children at every age through peer education and collaboration opportunities, mentoring experiences, team activities, simulations, event planning and hosting, cooperative academic challenges, cross-level partnerships, experiences within the greater community, and school \u2013wide events.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1942 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/pizza-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Upper Elementary Students Run Pizza Business\" width=\"270\" height=\"180\" \/>Opportunities for leadership vary campus-wide.\u00a0 Children experience leadership opportunities within their classrooms through peer mentoring, conflict management, long term projects, and classroom community meetings.\u00a0 Children experience school-wide opportunities in many ways.\u00a0 An example is the Pizza Friday Project.\u00a0 This Business model learning opportunity provides the experience of locating companies, contacting and comparing prices, settling agreements, planning and sending order options to families, recording and managing orders school-wide, placing weekly orders, delivering to classrooms, \u00a0and managing funds.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1690 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/foastatic.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/toddlerandtucker1-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"Middle School Student Leads Toddler Project\" width=\"270\" height=\"179\" \/>Upon graduation, students also write a personal commentary to share at the time of their commencement.\u00a0 These speeches are a great opportunity to share insights, growth experiences, fond memories, and important lessons which have impacted each child&#8217;s perspective.\u00a0 Middle School Students participate in local business Internship experiences that foster great growth in personal management and leadership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Children and adults need to experience leadership roles throughout their lives in order to develop to their own set of strengths.
