The purpose of this publication is to provide informational and organizational aid to students, teachers and administrators interested in developing and strengthening student leadership through local and regional student leadership training workshops. Divided into two major parts, the first part discusses the improvement of leadership training through (1) individual advisement on an informal basis, (2) leadership classes on a formal basis, (3) student attendance at statewide and national workshops, and (4) student attendance at local or regional leadership workshops. Suggestions of conferences and workshops to attend are provided. Part 2 outlines in three sections "The Secret of Success" in holding workshops: pre-workshop program planning, workshop content, and post-workshop planning. The pre-workshop program planning section involves goal setting, participation, invitations, staff, physical arrangements, and costs. The workshop content section provides a number of topic examples, such as student government, leadership skills, student activities, etc. The post-workshop program planning section is defined in terms of evaluation and followup. The appendix describes the Task Force on Student Affairs and the New York State Secondary Schools Student Organization. Sample agenda, evaluation forms, and bibliography are included. (CSS)
