Baltimore Leadership School for Young Women – Middle School Leadership Seminar II

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Middle School Leadership Seminar II is the second of two courses in the middle school leadership series. It is designed to provide seventh-grade students with the opportunity to understand, analyze, apply, and evaluate characteristics of leadership through various methods. Through traditional and non-traditional instructional practices, students are challenged to think deeply about what it means to be a leader and, most importantly, taught how to turn their leadership into direct action. Students synthesize the definition of leadership and actively demonstrate effective interpersonal and intrapersonal communication skills. At the culmination of the course, students demonstrate their capacity to plan and implement both school- and community-based projects; explain, describe, and argue principles of effective leadership through written compositions; and develop overall as BLSYW leaders.
