Thank you for visiting our booth at the NYSCOSS Fall Retreat. Below you can find more information about the offerings we provide to help your students become the leaders they were made to be.

Ignite Student Leadership Conferences

Do you want to ignite a passion for leadership among key student leaders in your district? Do you want to equip them with the skills needed to succeed in roles like student board member, student government officer, athletic captain, and more? Our Ignite Leadership Conferences will allow students from each BOCES to gather with peers in their region for an in-person, one-day conference designed to launch them into making a meaningful impact on your community. Students who participate will also be able to build a network of support with their peers who are serving in similar leadership roles in other districts. We will help them maintain that network through periodic virtual or in-person follow-up Leadership Sessions. Email [email protected] to schedule an Ignite Leadership Conference for your region.

The Appointed to Lead Model

We Inspire students to believe they can lead by sparking each student's leadership self-efficacy.

We Equip students to become effective leaders, through engaging instruction on research-based leadership frameworks.

We Empower students to apply their leadership learning in the school community, by helping identify opportunities for students to apply their leadership learning in meaningful ways that impact school culture.

Want to level-up the leadership of a cohort of students? Our team of leadership educators are available to provide Leadership Seminars for groups of up to 60. Through full-day, half-day, or multi-day programs we can help your students become the leaders they were made to be through an unforgettable leadership development experience. This is a great option for any student cohort- from grade level groups, to athletic teams, to Student Government bodies, or students in need of a restorative reset - the options are limitless.

Professional Development for Staff

Want to help your staff build a culture of student leadership in your schools? We provide customized Professional Development workshops targeted to the unique needs of each partner district. We also offer a two-day workshop for teachers interested in launching Leadership Electives at their school and a one-day workshop for educators seeking to integrate leadership within existing courses, athletic programs, or student organizations.

Learn more about our Leadership Elective curriculum in the video below as Appointed to Lead founder Stuart Gordon shares an overview of the digital resources that educators receive when they become members of the Appointed to Lead Educators Network through participation in our of our two-day P.D. workshops.
