The LEAD Program
(9-12 Grades)
The LEAD program stands for Leadership Empowerment And Development. With up to 6 sessions of leadership development, LITE provides leadership trainers who visit high school classes for in-person learning. This program is great for freshmen to start their high school experience; however, all high school grade levels can benefit. From leadership and reasoning to social-emotional learning, students experience discussion, activities, and presentation of higher education leadership skills. LEAD is a comprehensive program that encompasses individual and team development, workforce development, and violence prevention awareness. Leadership training assists students to address peer pressure, bullying, and more.
Each program session is typically done in-class during a standard class period or 2 sessions in a 90 minute block schedule. Several of these programs can be done in an assembly. Please let us know your preferences, and we will be happy to offer our services.
Virtual programming is available on Zoom or Google Classrooms.
Below is the breakdown of what is taught in the program and some student and teacher feedback.
