A closer look at what's inside the INSPIRE Student Leadership Development Program and how it works
7 Leadership Modules
The Student Leadership Development Program currently consists of 7 modules (more to be added as the program is regularly updated with new content). They focus on key themes and/or skill/knowledge areas essential for student leaders to understand and develop.
The 7 leadership modules are:
27 Leadership Lessons
Each module has a series of Lessons within it that are all of varying duration. In total there are 27 lessons for student leaders to complete across the 7 modules. The duration of these lessons range from approximately 5 minutes up to 30+ minutes to watch and listen to. It can take an individual up to one hour to complete the workbook activities. However we also encourage teachers to allow the student leadership group time to collaborate as a team to share their ideas and what they added to their workbook as notes and responses to the activities, This will be especially important for the leadership group to work together to complete a number of activities in the modules in order for the group to reach a consensus view on some issues and tasks that require a whole-group approach.
7 Module Workbooks
Each module has a Module Workbook for student leaders to download and print out. The Module Workbook is to be used to record their notes while listening and watching the module and to then complete the Module Activities in the back of the Workbook.
Module Workbook Activities
The Workbook Activities are practical and hands-on, not theoretical. They are designed to ensure individual student leaders and the student leadership group develop and see their progress as they complete each module.
Comprehensive Supporting Resources
The Resources section of the program is where you’ll find useful resources to support your students’ learning. Resources include:
- Leadership Case Study
- Discussion Questions
- Leadership Learning Journal
- Student Leader Role Agreement
- Leadership Quotes
- Extension Activities
This section is being continually added to so that you can provide ongoing leadership learning for your students.

How Your School Can Gain The Most From the Program
Depending on whether your school already has an existing leadership program or not will determine how you gain the most from the online Student Leadership Development Program.
Let's look at both of these scenarios.
If Your School Has No Leadership Program
If your school does not have a leadership program, then the online Student Leadership Development Program can now be YOUR program.
When you subscribe and receive your individual log-in codes for your students, it will be important for you to allocate time in the week for the students to work through the modules.
You have a couple of options at this point. You can either:
- Have your student leaders work through the module lessons and complete the Workbook activities individually, or
- Invite your student leaders to complete the lesson individually and then collaborate as a group when it comes time to complete the Module activities
- Or a combination of both, depending on the subject matter of the Modules and Lessons and how you wish for them to complete it.
If Your School Already Has a Student Leadership Program
If your school already has a student leadership program, the online Student Leadership Development Program will be the perfect supplement to what you currently provide your student leaders.
The content within the online Student Leadership Development Program is most likely different to what you are currently delivering to your students and in a format that's unique to student leadership development at most schools.
You have total flexibility in the way you use the program as it can be done:
- Individually
- In groups
- As an add-on to your existing material
- As an inclusion to an existing leadership lesson
- At home or at school
As you can see, the choice on how you implement the program is entirely up to you based on the needs and availability of your school's staff and students. Whichever way you decide to use the program, the great thing is that it's all been done for you. You don't have to spend hours and hours researching and developing Leadership Learning material - you and your students can literally begin immediately.
What Are the Benefits of Subscribing to the Student Leadership Development Program?
- You have immediate access to one of the most comprehensive student leadership programs available anywhere
- The content is detailed and immediately applicable - so you can see your students applying it in their leadership roles from the first module
- It is delivered online which is consistent with many student's preferred learning style
- Free up staff time as the lessons are delivered online - staff do not need to necessarily be delivering the course content as the online learning modules do that for them. However we do encourage staff to spend time with students answering questions as well as facilitating discussion and collaboration among the student leaders as they complete each module Workbook.
- Comes complete with a comprehensive set of 7 workbooks, one for each module so student leaders have a place to keep all of their notes and reflections as well as completed activities in the one place as they work through a module.
- Each Module Workbook is a fillable PDF. That means the students do not need to print out the workbook. They can download it to their device and type into the document to record their notes and responses to activities.
- Trusted leadership program writers and designers. The Centre for Inspired Leadership is a specialist in leadership development with more than 30 years international experience in education and training and professional development. We have been designing and delivering Student Leadership and Staff Leadership programs and resources to schools since 2003 and our resources and programs have been experienced by schools around the world.
- No expensive expert facilitators and speakers to hire to speak at your school to run your leadership program
- No need to send your student leaders to external workshops, programs and conferences that are well-meaning, but in our experience, rarely achieve any significant sustainable change in behaviour among attendees once they return to school. These events also require students to take time out from their school week to attend and then catch up on work missed as a result of attending the event.
