Inspiring Students to Lead

The academic success of our graduating seniors can, in part, be attributed to the educational foundation established in elementary school. The Association of Washington Student Leaders (AWSL) believes that elementary school can also be the foundation for successful student leaders. Elementary programs are designed to create this foundation for students in kindergarten through 6th grade.

Each and every offering is centered around the AWSL Goals and Objectives, which have been built upon the AWSP Framework and the Washington State Social Emotional Learning Standards.

We can come to you!  Each elementary workshop and training is customized for your unique goals and school configuration. All of our programs start with a conversation with you. Together, we match our program offerings with what you hope to accomplish.

Inspiring Students to Lead: A Resource Guide for Elementary Schools

In 2017, AWSL published a new and bulked-up edition of AWSL's elementary leadership curriculum, Inspiring Students to Lead. The 161-page curriculum now includes model lesson plans on critical leadership concepts, with 15 student handouts in both English and Spanish, three leadership workshop plans with facilitator script, and a manual on inclusive recess and table games.
