Mariam
MacGregor is the founder of
Youthleadership.com, an online
clearinghouse and resource center
for individuals working with youth
leaders. With years of experience as
a leadership consultant, school
counselor, and coordinator of
various leadership programs,
MacGregor brings a wealth of
knowledge and expertise to Building
Everyday Leadership in All Teens.
The curriculum consists of 21
sessions designed for 45 minutes.
The sessions contain a variety of
topics: qualities of leadership,
decision-making, stereotypes,
prejudices, conflict management, and
more. The curriculum is easily
navigated and provides the
facilitator all the guidance
necessary for a successful
experience. The guidebook for teens
provides thought-provoking quotes
and questions, allowing students to
explore the personal implications of
each session. While this curriculum
does not contain any scriptural
support, there is ample material
available to supplement a leadership
program that includes a strong
spiritual component in your youth
ministry. I highly recommend giving
this product a try.

* From
Children's Literature:
Written for
teens of all ages and groups of any
kinds, this workbook is the
instructor's guide for a 21-session
curriculum on fostering leadership.
Written by a former school counselor
and coordinator of leadership
programs, the guide is flexible
enough for teachers to choose all or
some of the lessons, according to
the needs of the audience. The book
begins by defining leadership, its
importance as a skill, and its
benefits to all teens, not just a
select few. The 45-minute sessions
for students from ages 11 to 18
require that each have a student
copy of the book. Each session lists
goals, materials, needed steps for
getting ready, how to begin, step by
step guidance through each teaching
activity, discussion questions,
items for written reflections, and
ideas for putting learning into
action. A wide variety of strategies
are employed that should appeal to a
variety of learning styles. Lessons
deal with subjects such as what
makes a good leader, doing the right
thing, turning conflict into
cooperation and thinking creatively.
There are plenty of resources and
additional readings provided, as
well as forms that can be
reproduced.
It
is an excellent resource for working
with any aged teen and user friendly
for busy adult leaders.

This is an outstanding
resource for all those
who want to encourage
young people in their
leadership and teamwork
skills. While there are
many similar books
available, this one will
become one of the
essential resources in
the youth worker's
library.”

Throughout the
book are Notes
pages to jot
ideas and
issues to
consider.
There is ample
commentary,
which could
accompany each
page and
activity in
the book, that
has not been
included so
that each
program can
use the
information as
it relates to
specific
efforts. Some
pages may be
interpreted
slightly
different by
an individual
working in a
school-based
setting versus
one in a
community- or
faith-based
setting.
Ultimately,
the book is
designed to
prompt and
challenge you
to evaluate
all aspects of
preparing the
youth with
whom you work,
