Planning Unit: Boone County CES

Major Program: Leadership 4-H Core Curriculum

Plan of Work: 4-H Leadership

Outcome: Initial Outcome

For the 2018-2019 school year, Yealey Elementary had a school wide emphasis on Leadership Development with a hope of increasing communication skills, problem solving & conflict resolution techniques, and goal attainment from their students. Each of these skills is linked to higher student achievement, lower drop-out rates, and better post school outcomes. To assist Yealey with this venture, The Boone County Cooperative Extension Service offered youth leadership programming to 30 students (selected by the teachers) from the 4th & 5th grades.  The sessions focused on leadership styles, teamwork, conflict resolution, and communication skills. From a written evaluation, 88% of the students said they were better prepared to obtain their set goals, 83% said they had a better understanding of personality differences, 77% said they increased their communication skills, and 100% said they had a better understanding of what it took to be an effective leader.
