Neha, Sadeen and Ashmira's Leadership Learning Story

Learners: Neha, Ashmira and Sadeen    Learning Coach: T.Dillner        Date: 10.8.15

Learning Area: iActive - Leadership

Learning Observed

Neha, Ashmira and Sadeen are the leaders of Group 2 during iActive time. I have noticed that this term these three learners have really stepped up their leadership skills. I can rely on them to lead the group in activities like Rob the Nest, Line Tag and the Collaboration Station. Neha, Ashmira and Sadeen communicate clearly and simply to everybody, making sure that the other learners understand before proceeding. They are always organised and will make sure that the Group 2 learners from LH1, LH2 and LH4 are organised too. Neha, Ashmira and Sadeen try their hardest to keep to our timeframe and ask questions about what is coming up next or how they could help more. They are a good example of leadership to other learners in our school and I hope they maintain this in the future.

Evidence of learning

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

These three girls work collaboratively to set up, lead and pack up for the Group 2 iActive activities every day. The demonstrate that to be good leaders, people must work together for a common goal (Managing Self and Relating to Others). They have developed their capabilities in this area from the beginning of Term 2 until now (Term 3, Week 4) and I am sure this will continue to grow and improve.

Next Learning Steps

Demonstrate the same leadership during learning time in our Habitat and mentor other learners. Recruit younger learners within the group to help with small tasks e.g. counting the balls at the end of Rob the Nest.

Learning Observed

Neha, Johanna and Divya collaborated together to provide a wonderful and inspiration component to the ‘Leadership Experience’ as a long awaited follow up to the NYLD that all the Year 6s attended in Term 2.  The girls co-constructed a presentation and speech which included a video of Riley and Steve (which can be found in the Leadership Experience presentation).  They sparked the curiosity of the crowd with the strong message of conservation and ‘yes you can’.  The learners loved watching the video and most walked away thinking about how they can help wildlife.  Practicing their public speaking, writing, presenting and leadership was what they did while the audience was inspired by Riley’s commitment to conservation.
