iLEAD x Region 18 Partnership
Region 18 Education Service Center is partnering with the Maxwell Leadership Foundation to foster extending the opportunity to pilot the iLead Values Based Student Leadership Initiative as part of an organized large-scale effort to the Region 18 ESC Community during the 23/24 school year.
The iLead lessons are made up of values-based Transformation Tables designed by Dr. John C. Maxwell to develop students' values and leadership skills. The format allows students to get experience leading as they take turns facilitating.
Each lesson contains a short teaching on a value or leadership characteristic, asks students to evaluate how well they practice the characteristic, and encourages them to commit to one action step for the week that will allow them to improve their rating in that area.

As a teacher, we are always given new initiatives and with it comes worries and frustrations. The unknown is hard. However, once my class started implementing iLead and the students started to open up with themselves and each other, those fears vanished. It has been amazing to see the students validate each other's feelings. The best experience for me has been having my AP students facilitate for a younger freshman class. Because they didn't know the kids personally, they spent the time to get to know each of them and as it was their turn to answer or read they would give words of encouragement. Their teacher said that the freshman had never participated in the same manner as when the older students were their facilitators. They really took ownership of their group and made sure that everyone was heard and felt comfortable.
