Once identified, students should be given a wide variety of opportunities to develop their leadership potential in the classroom. This article offers information on rating scales, programs, and other resources that can be used in implementing leadership education into the gifted classroom. One rating scale, The Leadership Skills Inventory (LSI), identifies nine areas of leadership that should be developed. They include fundamentals of leadership, written communication skills, speech communication skills, character-building skills, decision-making skills, group-dynamic skills, problem- solving skills, personal skills, and planning skills (Karnes & Chauvin, 2000b). The LSI is not designed to identify giftedness in leadership, but rather a student?s current level in the nine areas, and it gives teachers a map for areas in need of improvement. Students rate and score themselves, then they plot their scores on a leadership profile that provides a visual representation of areas of strength and areas in need of further instruction.
