National Outdoor Leadership School

I would push to have time before the students start school that year, to have the teachers self-administer the same leadership surveys (Glanz, 2002) that we took in module 2 of this course. The feedback that they receive from that assessment could then be used to help them understand their own strengths, and more importantly, their own weaknesses. Additionally, I would have them work in departments to complete the National Outdoor Leadership School’s (N.O.L.S.) No-Doze activity (Doran, 2004)…

first year living with my aunt and her family in Washington State. When I met with the registration counselor to enroll in middle school, I experienced culture shock: I felt shy and didn't speak my best. The counselor rejected my registration and sent me to a school for English language learners. However, I was already proficient in English. Ironically, my private school in the Philippines taught me more English and challenged me more academically. Fitting in with my peers was another challenge.…

According to the NIAAA school buses should be used for transportation to competitions that are not local (“National”, 2011, p. 10). My policy would be athletes must ride the bus to the competition and return on the bus even for local events. This policy protects the school because allowing athletes to drive puts the district at risk of litigation should anything happen to the athlete. While I was in high school, a local athlete attempted to drive to a game and was killed…

define leadership, or what characteristics a person must exhibit to be an effective leader, they often struggle to offer responses. This is because who a leader is and what a leader does changes with each situation. That is to say, the concept of leadership carries different meanings depending on time, place, and purpose. Sometimes, some people’s leadership styles contradict the way other people perform their leadership roles, making understanding and defining the notion of leadership…

accomplish anything in life worth accomplishing. Throughout high school and college, I have always made it my priority to see that my responsibilities are completed to the best of my ability, and that the commitments I undertake are maintained until they have been fulfilled. My junior year of high school, I joined the cross country and track teams in order to get in better running shape. I immediately found myself thrust into a leadership role, having the fastest times in the mile and the 800m…

reinforces the policies and information identified as poorly understood by the counselors based on the online quiz results and goes over the program, risk management, and job duties. Each year camp is designed so that youth have the opportunity for leadership, responsibility, and caring for others. Camp theme, schedule, and programming are selected by the teen leaders in the beginning stages of camp planning. From there, these teen leaders work with the camp volunteers to determine the best…

National Guard The National Guard is the branch of the military that operates as a “home guard.” Like servicemen and women in other branches of the armed forces, members of the Army National Guard and the Air National Guard undergo military training to protect the nation in case of attack and to aid americans during time of crisis, including national disasters like earthquakes and floods. Unlike other branches of the military the guard is mostly stationed on home soil (though they can be…

As someone who has personally experienced Westgarth Bush Kindy as an Educator I found that the pre- school children do learn differently when their learning is completely founded in the outdoors. The parents reported to me (in personal conversations), that they found that the days the children were at the Bush kindy premises in Darebin they came home more tired, happier and consequently. As an educator…

Part A: Throughout my experiences in high school, I strove to be as involved with my community and fellow students as physically and mentally possible. When I began my educational career at Germantown, one extra-curricular activity that piqued my interest was marching band. Throughout my four years being involved with band, I learned perseverance, leadership, and performance techniques that I will use throughout the rest of my life. Helping younger members learn and grow was a pivotal moment in…
