Course Description:  The national award-winning USCHS Leadership Academy is partnering with the University of Pittsburgh to align with the College in High School Theories of Leadership Course. This course is designed to acquaint students with multiple theories and practices associated with effective leadership. In answering the question, “What is leadership?” it examines such theories as situational, participative, transformational, and servant leadership. Consideration is given to issues of followership and the many roles we play in life. The class also addresses those leadership and administrative skills and practices usually associated with effective professional management. One of the strengths of this class is that it is very personal and applicable to a student’s development and everyday life, not to mention their future. This class is meant to be active and engaging, if not exciting, and this can be accomplished through the use of guest speakers, group exercises and projects, movies and video presentations, current events, community service, job shadowing, field trips, and more.
