The Assembly Guidebook compiles the collective wisdom of student leadership advisers and the assembly curriculum from summer leadership camps into one book. Topics include developing an assembly philosophy, agenda planning, performance and microphone techniques, appropriate use of humor and assembly evaluation based on a rubric. Additionally, The Assembly Guidebook features a variety of ideas for spirit, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Veterans Day assemblies.

GREETINGS

It’s nice to serve and it’s also nice to take a breather from serving. This will be the final In the Loop of the year…look for us in your in box again in mid-August. I’ve appreciated the positive comments about the usefulness of this newsletter to your lives as student leadership advisers. I look forward to Looping you in 2008-09 and I look forward to giving my typing fingers a summer break.

PROGRAMS AND EVENTS

Eastside Adviser Retreat

The Eastside Adviser Retreat is designed specifically for high school student leadership advisers from both large and small high schools. Based on an engaging, interactive delivery model, the Eastside Adviser Retreat is appropriate for both new and experienced student leadership advisers. Veteran leadership teachers Leanne Donley, Central Valley High and Sue Fisk, Colville High will facilitate the retreat. Added to the wealth of knowledge they have acquired as ASB and leadership class advisers, both Leanne and Sue are directors of a summer leadership camp. The backdrop to this unique adviser training retreat is the beautiful wooded Chewelah Peak Learning Center.

Student-led Small Group Workshops
2008 WASC Conference
Application Deadline September 15
One of the strengths of the annual leadership conference of the Washington Association of Student Councils (WASC) is the variety and depth of the student-led workshops. Each year about 50 student leaders from across the state facilitate workshops centered on one of five focus areas: involvement, diversity, recognition, improving school success and successful programs and events. The 2008 WASC Conference will be sponsored by the Mid-Columbia Association of Student Councils and held October 10-12 at Richland High. The conference theme is “Where leadership flows, glows and grows!” Conference registration will be available mid-June on the Washington Student Leadership Web site.

GEAR UP at Cispus and Chewelah Peak Learning Center
Plan A Retreat or WorkshopToday
In the spring of 2008, Washington Student Leadership served seven of the 37 schools in Washington with GEAR UP grants. A successful match was experienced between the Washington Student Leadership curriculum and the GEAR UP program. In addition, AWSP’s Cispus and Chewelah Peak learning centers and their challenge course facilities were incorporated into some of the GEAR UP programs. To better serve all of the GEAR UP grant schools, Washington Student Leadership has developed three program offerings. Each program is based around the cornerstone concepts of know yourself, know your options and know how to work with others.
