The Duke TIP Leadership Institute was developed specifically for a 2-week summer experience; however, the model can be applied to today's high school classroom. Through a combination of fundamental leadership skills and guided service learning, students identify important unmet needs within their community and begin working to address them. This authentic learning experience aids students in personal development and fulfills curricular objectives by connecting the school and the greater community.

A model for developing leadership in elementary-secondary education includes infusion of leadership skills and concepts into curricula, training of teachers in the leadership development of youth, and providing mentoring experiences with community leaders. (SK)
