History:
Promoting Leadership, Empathy, Accountability, and Discussion
Team LEAD is a system of student management and empowerment which promotes leadership, empathy, accountability and open discussion as well as peer mentoring. Team LEAD is a student bystander leadership program formatted as an inclusive club which meets regularly during the school day or beyond.
The Team LEAD system sets the foundation of student leadership which then expands into both formal and informal mentoring.
CASS© is a multifaceted change process that brings together a community of caring adults (administrators, teachers, parents) and students to work together to change the social culture in a school or school district. Its primary goal is to positively impact the social norms in a school community by recognizing the hurtful, covert behaviors of peer aggression and to identify and model a more positive set of normative behaviors for educators, students, and parents.
