>Does anyone have "tales from the trenches" regarding the development and implementation of a leadership academy concept specifically for 8th/9th grade students?  We're specifically investigating something that would emphasize environment, sustainable practices, conservation etc. and looking to collaborate with several community resource partners.   No real details in place at the moment-just brainstorming, but would love to hear about some pros/cons of others who have blazed a trail!   Reply to [log in to unmask]
