BHS Educational Leadership Second Semester - Consider Signing up now with Mr. Wilson & Ms. Myers
What is Educational Leadership?
Ed Leadership is a program that places BHS students as teachers’ helpers in classrooms at Brunswick’s two elementary schools. Its mission is to facilitate mutually beneficial relationships between BSD teachers and BHS students that enhance the educational experience of students in the host classroom.
BHS students’ duties typically include supporting small group learning activities, facilitating the operation of lunch or recess, and helping teachers during their prep periods. Students enroll in Ed Leadership as a non-credit-bearing class, usually replacing what would have been a study hall.
Who can participate?
Ed Leadership is for students in 10th-12th grade who are curious about working with youth. They must be in good academic standing and be able to sustain a semester-long commitment to their host teacher and students.
What is the student’s commitment?
Ed Leadership is a semester-long commitment. The most fundamental commitment is to being reliable, consistent, professional and communicative with both your host teacher and Mr. Wilson. Participating students are required to write and share short reflections every few weeks, using Google Classroom.
What do I get out of it?
BHS students can submit their classroom time for Community Service credit. Students also develop career readiness skills that will be useful in future jobs. Finally, most participants report that they find it rewarding to work with young kids. Some even say it’s the best part of their school week!
How do scheduling and transportation work?
The Community Engagement program invites KFS & HBS teachers to opt into hosting students. The CE program also books BSD buses to transport students during period two each day. If a student has their own transportation then they may be approved to drive under their own arrangement.
BHS students are matched with cooperating elementary school teachers based on schedule availability. Applying for the program does not guarantee there will be a host teacher available at the time you need.
Maine Criminal Justice Academy Tour There is an opportunity to tour the Maine Criminal Justice Academy on January 4th. If you are interested in law enforcement, you should attend this 1 day event. There is a panel from State, County and Local agencies to provide answers to students about recruitment, expectations, opportunities, and any other questions they may have. If this is something you are interested in then please see Mr. Wilson or Ms. Myers as soon as possible to sign up.
