In the spring of 2008, Washington Student
Leadership served seven of the 37 schools in Washington with GEAR UP
grants. A successful match was experienced between the Washington
Student Leadership curriculum and the GEAR UP program. In addition,
AWSP's Cispus and Chewelah Peak learning centers and their challenge
course facilities were incorporated into some of the GEAR UP programs.
To better serve all of the GEAR UP grant schools, Washington Student
Leadership has developed three program offerings. Each program is based
around the cornerstone concepts of know yourself, know your options and
know how to work with others. |

Middle Level Team Retreat |
Each school that attends the Middle Level
Team Retreat comes to the leadership training with unique goals. Some
schools bring up a team of adults and students committed to a specific
project or concept such as school climate. Other schools utilize the
retreat to blend their 6th grade leaders into student leadership. Still
others use the experience to train and unite their elected
student officers. The Middle Level Team Retreat is designed to
increase a school's teamwork skills by exploring concepts related to
communication, group process, project planning, self-awareness and human
relations. In addition to increasing a school's effectiveness as a leadership team, student leaders and their advisers have a chance to network and share ideas, create action plans for the school year and develop individual leadership skills. Staff members from the popular middle level summer leadership camps facilitate the retreat. Student leaders from high school leadership programs are the Resident Counselors (RCs) for the retreat. The RCs serve as positive roles models, supervise the student dorms and help facilitate retreat activities. |
