Summarising and reflecting on personal leadership skills

Lesson details

Learning outcome

I can use self-assessment to reflect on my personal leadership skills, identifying strengths and areas for improvement.

Key learning points

  1. Move: participating in activities with maximum effort allows for a fun review of leadership.
  2. Think: constantly evolving as a leader and working on areas for improvement requires reflection.
  3. Feel: growing in confidence while developing leadership requires listening to our strengths and areas of development.
  4. Connect: trust in ourselves and others is developed through openness and reflection.

Keywords

  • Self-assessment - the process of evaluating oneself

  • Strengths - the leadership qualities you feel you perform well at

  • Weaknesses - the leadership qualities you feel are an area for improvement

Common misconception

Pupils think self-assessment is similar to being assessed in something.

Self-assessment is an opportunity to reflect and does not count towards any assessment. It is positive. Leaders are able to grow from self-assessments as they recognise strengths, but more importantly, identify keys areas of improvement.

Teacher tip

Please use a leadership review that works for the pupils. For example, they could complete a postcard which is posted at the end of the session. Alternatively, this could be completed as a peer-assessment opportunity.

Equipment

balls, balloons (1 between 2), leadership skills / activities (additional materials), various depending on choice of activity.
