School Leadership Garden

The place to cultivate and practice leadership in the classroom and on the playground

If you’re looking to bring personal leadership training and anti-bullying resources into the classroom, we offer resources that individual teachers, counselors, and administrators can easily implement.

However, issues of bullying and building self-worth are often most effectively addressed at the organizational level. If, as an educator, you would like to create a district-wide, school-wide or grade-wide climate where: bullying is not tolerated and respect flourishes, every child’s unique abilities and natural curiosity are nurtured, and each child is encouraged to take on a leadership role unique to them . . . we’d like to help you.

This site offers a number of resources to advance that agenda, working with students, faculty/staff, and/or parents/caregivers, including . . .

All resources are designed by Debra Slover, a former classroom teacher who went on to coordinate two national and 18 statewide conferences, train 2000+ teens as trainers, present programs to 40,000 people, raise more than $3,200,000, and direct 38 youth leadership camps.

Slover has been Board President/VP of the National Association of Teen Institutes, chaired two statewide programs, and was a grant reviewer for the U.S. Department of Education and Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention.
