Artsakh - Helping Through A Crisis
Measure of Success for Agency + Competency = Fortitude
Measure of Success for Agency + Competency = Fortitude
Agency is about wellness, character development, and personal agency. Mental, emotional, and physical health, well-being, and interpersonal skills are a foundation for a balanced life and effective leadership.
Personal agency, well-being, balance, relationships, and growth.
By helping young people to become more empathetic, conscientious, seek authenticity, and to see leadership through the eyes of a servant enables them to foster the tools for a fulfilling and balanced leader life.
Competencies grow from knowledge and abilities forged through the student and teacher exchange in classroom learning.
Student leaders develop the capacity to use skills and competencies acquired in the classroom in meaningful and tangible ways through experiential learning to great positive effect and lifelong success.
Fortitude develops over time as students learn to use failure as fuel for success, develop resiliency and perseverance, meaningful collaboration, and grow in their ability to pivot, adapt, overcome, and address challenges in their world. Student leaders also learn to use different styles of leadership and engaged followership throughout their journey.
Students leaders expand their use of competencies to help them and their team to set targets, chart and measure success as they grow in their abilities to achieve their aims while using a wide range of knowledge and applied skill-sets.
