MSA’s Student Leadership Summits are designed to bring together student leaders
and adults to inspire, motivate, and teach them about effectively leading their
school improvement efforts.
These leadership summits provide an exciting opportunity to share successes,
challenges and ideas with other student leaders and adults. If you are just
beginning work with student leaders the summit is a great way to gather
inspiring ideas and motivate your students. If you already have a team in place,
the summit will help you continue thinking creatively about school improvement
issues and the power of your student leaders. All participants leave with a plan
of action to drive their school improvement efforts forward.
MSA has also created leadership summits specifically designed to address the
needs and interests of individual schools and districts. These summits can be
held at a school or at an off-site location.
