This resource is designed to teach students about the complexities of school leadership by engaging them in practical scenarios that require evidence-based decision-making. Through a series of activities, students will analyze competing school needs and participate in collaborative debates to justify their choices. The key components covered include four core pillars of effective administration: safety, equity, budget management, and culture. Students will participate in a budget challenge, where they will allocate a limited budget on various school improvement initiatives and justify their allocations using a structured reasoning framework (Claim, Evidence, Reasoning). Additionally, they will confront a real-world scenario that pits student interests against facility safety, allowing them to explore ethical leadership and consensus-building strategies. The activities culminate in a reflective exit slip that encourages students to think critically about the nature of school leadership and the decision-making process.
