STUDENT LEADERSHIP PROGRAM ASSESSMENT TOOL
Taking the Student Leadership Program Assessment is essential as it allows us to evaluate the effectiveness of our program across key areas. This includes the selection and organization of student leaders, the quality of training and mentorship provided, and the clarity of our guiding documents and objectives. It also assesses our success in promoting school spirit, fostering student engagement, and encouraging community involvement. Additionally, the assessment helps us evaluate relationships among students, staff, parents, and the community, and identify areas for improvement in recognition events, marketing, and financial management to enhance the program’s impact.
9 TYPES OF STUDENT LEADERS ASSESSMENT TOOL
The “Four Seasons of School Culture” framework is built on two key pillars: Service and Spirit. Effective student leaders demonstrate a strong work ethic (service) and an enthusiastic approach to life (spirit). By using the assessment and matrix in this resource, students can identify their leadership type. The goal is to progress from “lighter blues” to “darker blues.” The more a student leader embodies Service and Spirit, the greater their impact in the classroom, on campus, and within the community.

CORE VALUES IN ACTION
Student Leadership CORE Values in Action outlines a student leadership program focused on cultivating four core values: Initiative (START), Enthusiasm (SPIRIT), Work Ethic (SERVE), and Relationships (SHINE). Each core value is associated with a patch that student leaders can earn by completing specific tasks, such as creating or leading events, showing school spirit, exceeding expectations, and fostering meaningful connections with others. These resource also emphasizes the importance of daily reflection through guiding questions related to each value, encouraging students to consciously embody these principles in their daily actions.
Students track their progress and self-assess their performance, with advisors providing feedback. The ultimate goal is to help students develop leadership qualities while reinforcing the idea that leadership starts with you, but it’s not about you!
LEADERSHIP IN OPPOSITES:
These resource highlights 8 contrasting pairs of leadership traits that reveal the difference between effective leaders and less impactful behaviors.
The positive traits (Leader, Creator, Energizer, Finisher, Server, Achiever, Encourager, Connector) demonstrate proactive, service-oriented, and relational behaviors that foster strong, effective leadership.
The negative traits (Follower, Consumer, Complainer, Quitter, Observer, Attempter, Discourager, Isolator) reveal passive, disengaged, or self-focused behaviors that hinder team dynamics and leadership effectiveness.
A successful leader embodies the positive qualities and continually strives to inspire, innovate, and build strong relationships while serving others.
