CUHSD District Leadership Conference

CUHSD leadership students created strategies to improve student culture on campuses during the District Leadership conference on January 30.

During the District Leadership Conference, Associated Student Body (ASB) students focused on team building through coordinated dance routines, focus groups and exercises. Students heard from guest speaker Esteban Gast, who is a writer for the television show Jane the Virgin and a leadership consultant with the organization CharacterStrong. The organization provides curricula and training to schools internationally and helps students and educators infuse character and socio-emotional learning into the classroom.

“Choose kindness and love on campus,” said Gast during his speech to the leadership students.

After listening to Gast, students broke into groups to discuss ways to bring kindness and socio-emotional learning to their campuses.
