A leader needs the guts to stand out and be ridiculed.

You need to nurture the first few followers. It is about the movement, it is not about you.

Leadership is over glorified. If you really care about something be a follower and show others how to follow.

Introduction
SERIES: ONLINE VIDEO LESSONS
Introduce the concept of personal leadership and what it may mean to each of us individually.
Link to each website that has interesting images related to the personal leadership concept.
Ask students to consider the actions and thinking that may be reflected within each image, and
how those actions relate to personal leadership.
Consider:
• why the fish is leaping / leading
(ideas of initiative, difference, new situations, thinking)
• what the main is thinking
(ideas of decision making, reflection, choices, independence)
Plan
Activity 1: View the video Opening doors
Students:
• take notes while watching the video. (Students may need to see it twice.)
• complete the activity sheet on the following pages
• share their individual responses with a partner, and discuss
• share their responses with the teacher and peers.
Activity 2: Plan a 'Helping others' project
In small groups (3 or 4) students prepare a class, year-level or school ‘Helping others’ activity.
Examples could include opening doors for others, helping in the canteen, cleaning areas within the
school, supporting students with disability or who speak another language.
Their planning should include:
• what they will do (achievability, the local need etc.)
• how and when they will do it (planning, resources, timeline, permissions, safety etc.)
• who will manage; who will be helped.
Give students time to effectively plan their activity. (They may need a few days.)
Each group shares their idea with the class, and asks for feedback to improve their idea.
Act
Activity 3: Implement the 'Helping others' plan
With the permission, and perhaps supervision of teachers and/or teacher aides, each group
implements their plan. Encourage students to maintain a photographic record of their project and
to seek feedback from participants after its implementation. Feedback could include—What was
good? What could be improved?
