Leaders of Tomorrow

The Leadership Assistant Program at Chartiers Valley offers seniors a unique opportunity to step into the real world without stepping out of the high school.

Students assist a teacher in a classroom setting on a daily basis, giving them the opportunity to develop their leadership skills. In addition, the program reinforces responsibility while enabling students to strengthen their organizational and interpersonal skills.

Once students are accepted into the program, their duties may include:

• Assisting in classroom or project set-up
• Remediation
• In-class tutoring
• Concept explanation or reinforcement
• Planning and coordinating individual or group activities

Brittany King, Chartiers Valley Class of 2012, said the Leadership Assistant program helped her figure out what she wants to do. Brittany worked as an assistant in a special education classroom and now plans to study special education at West Virginia University this fall.

Brittany was recently featured in "District Administration" -- a national education magazine -- for her involvement in Chartiers Valley's Leadership Assistant Program.
