over the last several months GRIP Leadership hasconducted ‘Leading & Teaching’ conferences forteachers throughout australia. one of the questions
I posed to teachers during that conference was, “Can you to think of a time in your teaching career when something occurred and your response to that event was a very heartfelt ‘This is why I do this job!’?”
Indiscussionwithoneprincipalaroundsomeoftheanswersto this question this fine lady recounted tome that, how inresponsetothenaPLanY5writingtask(whichIunderstandwasabout‘Yourhero’)oneoftheYear5girlsinherschoolhadwrittenaboutthatprincipal.Thewritingcovered indetail theprincipal’scareandconcernfornotonlythischildbutothersattheschool.asshetoldmethedetailsofthisstoryandtheimpactithadonhertearswelledupinhereyes-sheexplainedhowherpersonalvalueswereobservedbythisyoungstudent.ourdiscussionthenwentfurtherasto‘why, teachers do what
they do?’ and then a further clarifying question the groupconsideredwas‘who as a teacher does not wish to see every child for whom you have some responsibility fulfil their full potential?’.Theresponsewasofcoursearesounding“Yes”.fromthisdiscussionitbecameclearthatitwasthevaluesthatareheldbyateacherthatdeterminetheteacher’sactionsandbehaviours.Theyaresoevidenttoyourstudentseveryday.
Values are often defined as an individual’s basic standardsandbeliefsaboutwhatisgoodandbad,acceptableandnotacceptable,moraland immoral.Valuesare thebeliefswhichcauseustodowhatwedo.amajorpartofaleader’s(teacher’s)role is tohelppromotevaluesandprinciples thatcontributetothewelfareofindividuals(students)andorganisations(theschool).
Values are assessed, developed and revised through ourlife,butmanyare relativelyestablishedbyyoungadulthood.Many things influence the value each of us holds. figure 1belowillustratessomeoftheinfluencesonourvalues.Theseinfluencesoftenbeginassoonaswearebornandarediversein their origin. however on many occasions teachers haveconfirmedtousthattheyareifnotthemostsignificant,thenoneofthemostsignificantadults(orinfluences)inthelifeofmanystudentsintheirclasses.
Values in
Leadership
Figure 1. Influences on our values.
“The greatest teachers i’ve ever met didn’t teach me facts from a text
book. They taught me about myself and the kind of person i want to be. Teachers don’t always realise the
impact (influence) that they can have on a person’s life – you do make a
difference everyday.” a.M.inTheTeacher,2007

The ancient Greeks suggested that virtue (or values) whenapplied would result in others living well.

Be rightTruth was the foremost virtue which crosses cultural andgenerationalboundaries.Theonlywaytoberight is tohaveacommitment to truth–Truth is the ‘mappingof reality thatcorresponds to theway things are.

asaYear10studentIwouldsitforhours during the holidays withmy text books sprawled across
the study tables at the local library.during theholidaysmostofmy friendswould be out at the nearby shoppingcentreormaybetheskate-parkbutnotme, I barely left the library. You mightassume that Iwasadedicatedstudentor perhaps low on social options, butneitherofthesewerethecase.Sowhatwould cause a normal fifteen year oldboyfromthesuburbstospendhisdaysinthepubliclibrary?Mentoring.
at the time, I didn’t knowmuch aboutwhat mentoring was, but during thoselong days at the library I was beingshaped, formed and moulded into theschool captain that I would becometwo years later. none of this learningwas from library text books, but fromRob.IhadmetRobwhenIfirststartedhigh school a few years earlier, andRobwas two years older thanme. hewasoneof thosestudentswhoalwayshada leadershippositionofsomekindandwas loved by every student in theschool.ourmentoring relationshipwasnot the resultofa traditionalstructuredmentoringprogram,butofwhatImightcall ‘informal mentoring’ in which theregular time I would spend with RobwouldprovetobesignificantindefiningthepersonIwouldbecome.
ItwasprobablyjustluckthatImetRobwhilststandingbehindhiminaqueueasatwelveyearold,butitwasadeliberatedecisionofminetocontinuefollowinginhisfootstepsforthenextfiveyears.What
amazed me was the similar deliberatenature in which Rob would share histime, knowledge and experience withme.althoughourschoolhadnotpairedusupinaformalmentoringarrangement,it felt as if Robwas aworld expert onmentoring. We would sit next to eachotherintheschoolband,butthat’saboutthe extent of any formal arrangement.anythingelsewasbecausehedecidedtobefriendayoungandenthusiastickidcalledRonan,becausethat’sthekindofguyhewas.
In regards to the public library, that’swhereRobwouldgomostdaystostudyforhisfinalYear12exams.Eventhoughmy Year 10 homework was hardly a
demandingtask,Iwouldtakemyselfoffto the library so that I could sit acrossfromRobat theothersideof theopenplantableseagerto learnanythingthatI could from the most revered studentleader in our school. and it happened.during our casual chats I learnteverything from his outlook on schoolwork, teamwork and goal setting, tohis favourite hotdog option (nick’s hotdogswasjustoutsidethelibraryandwewouldgotheremostdaysforlunch).
By the time Rob graduated from ourschool,hehadplayedanimportantrolein developing me as a future studentleader. Even more than that, he haddevelopedmeintothekindofleaderthat

wantedtomentorothers.fromthere,thepatterncontinued.More thanadecadeon,Istillvisittheschoolregularly.WhenIspendtimewiththenewstudentleaders,Icanalwayspickoutsomeonethathasa strong streak of Rob’s leadership inthem.
Thebeautyofmyownstory is that thementoringoccurredquitenaturally.Ihavehadplentyofdiscussionswithteacherswhohavesharedwithmehowtheirmorestructured‘studenttostudentmentoringprograms’neverreallygetpastfirstgearandoftenstallintheprocess.
Reflecting on my own experienceand the many conversations I havehad with teachers, I am able to offerfour suggestions towards launchinga successful ‘student to student’mentoring program at your school,regardlessofwhetheryouareaprimaryschoolorsecondaryschool.
Have your senior leaders as mentors.I hear many schools share that theyprefer to protect their main groupof student leaders for ‘special roles’and then use another group of seniorstudents as mentors in their program.Structurally this is appealing, howeverin reality youngerstudentswant to feelthat they are spending time with themostreveredstudentsintheschool;therecognisedstudent leaders.Byutilisingthe senior leaders in this way, you willgenerate significant enthusiasm andparticipationfortheyoungerstudents.
Have a variety of mentoring settings. Potentialmentorsandmenteesalikewillbeinspiredbydifferentthings.Creatingmentoringenvironmentsinsport,music,art, leadership and other areas willcreateamorenaturalrelationship,ratherthanassumingthatmentoringinjustoneofthesedisciplineswillbeappealingorbeneficialforallstudents.
declare a short time-frame.It is common for schools to work inone year time frames. however, somementoringrelationshipssimplydonotgothedistanceandoftenfeel likeafailureiftheydonotlasttheyear.Irecommendlaunching a mentoring program thatwill last just one term, with only afew gatherings over the term. at theconclusion, invite students to continueonlyiftheywish.Youwillfindthatthosewho do continue will draw amazingbenefitfromit.
Provide resources but give freedom. Mentoringispersonal,andhencecannotbescripted.Itiswise,however,topreparementorsfortheirroleinageneralsenseandtoassisttheminsimplepreparationfor mentoring discussions. Studentmentors should feel suitably supportedgoing into the process and also feelcomfortabletomaketheirowndecisionsabout how to help their mentees oncetherelationshipisunderway.

form the basis of what I now believe to be a very effectivemodelofstudentleadership.duringtherelayonepersonfromeachteamwouldtakeoffaroundtheoval,carryingthebatonaswell as they could, thenpass it over to anothermemberof the teamwhowould share in the responsibility for a fewmoments.The‘pass’wasthetrickiestpartformostteamsandmanypeoplewouldtripordropthebaton,causingthemtofallshortoftheirbest.Thismeantthattheteamwhichusuallywonwasoftentheteamthatworkedthebesttogether,ratherthantheteamwhichwasthefastest.

Inconsideringhowyoumightencourageyourstudentleaderstopassthebatontoothers,thefollowingideasmaybehelpful:

in a relay race, each team has to ‘want’ the baton.as you would have experienced, some students may notwant to be considered as a leader in the school. This canoccurformanyreasons;fearofresponsibility,toomuchwork,lowselfesteem,or the imageof itbeingnot funorway too‘uncool’.Studentsteachingtheirpeersaboutleadershipcanbeaneffectivewaytotransformanegativemindsettowardsleadership. a studentmay benefit significantly from havingtheir peers teach them about what being a leader involves,howitcanberewarding,enjoyableandofservicetoothers.

GRIP Leadership has released a brand new resourcecalled ‘Passing the Baton of Leadership’. This disccontainseverythingthatstudentleadersneedtorunfiveleadership training sessions for their peers or youngerleaders.Itincludesaprintableleadersguide,participantworkbooksanddVdclips.
in a relay race, perfecting the pass may take time.Itmaytaketimeforyoutoexperimentwiththemostsuitablewayforyourstudentleaderstopassontheirideas,skillsandvalueswithinyourownschoolenvironment.forthisreason,expect that it will take time and be willing to try differentmethods.Itmaybeworthwhileaskingyourstudentshowtheythinktheycouldbetterpassontheirknowledge,orlearnfromothers.Yourend‘finishline’ isforstudentsatyourschooltoviewleadershipasaninclusiveactivityratherthananexclusiverole.asyouwillknow,changingschoolculturetakestimebuttherewardswilleventuallybeenjoyedformanyyearstocome.

“We don’t have great schools, principally because we have good schools... Few people attain great lives, in a large part because it is just so easy to settle for a good life. The vast majority of schools, companies and people never become great, precisely because the vast majority become quite good – and that is their main problem... The good is the enemy of the great. This is not just a business problem. it is a human problem.”
JimCollins,2001
